Ether
theoretical substance that scientists said the speed of light was relative to
Michaelson-Morley experiment
failed to show that the speed of light can change
Albert Einstein
came up with the theory of relativity
Time dilation
due to the effects of relativity, something moving past you at very fast speeds will appear to experience less time than you do
Length contraction
due to the effects of relativity, moving objects appear shorter in length compared to how they appear when stationary
Lorentz factor
γ=1/√(1-v²/c²)
Speed of causality
c, the ultimate speed of the universe; one event cannot influence another separate event any sooner than information can travel between the two events at the speed of c
On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies
Einstein’s paper that introduced the theory of relativity
Electromagnetic force
a fundamental force that can appear as the electric force from certain frames of reference and as the magnetic force for other frames of reference
