Relativity : the Special and General Theory

Click For Summary
Links to Albert Einstein's original papers on Relativity, both Special and General Theory, have been shared in the forum. The forum moderators prefer to avoid sticky threads to reduce clutter, opting instead for a searchable Local Link Directory for useful resources. A user has noted that while one related link has been submitted, another is still available for submission. The Tutorial Forum is intended for documents aiding students with homework problems, rather than general discussions. The conversation concludes with a user agreeing to delete unnecessary topics to streamline the forum.

I have posted links to the original papers on Relativity : the Special and General Theory made by Albert Einstein

Please make this post sticky (since this is the sole core of the subject).

Hi,

Thanks for the links. We used to stick threads with useful links to the top of some forums, but we are getting away from that because all the stickes make the forums too cluttered. Instead we put links in the Local Link Directory. Go to the main page and in the upper right corner you'll see a menu. The button marked "Links" takes you there. The Link Directory is nice because it's searchable.

Someone has already submitted Sidelights, but the other one is not there. You can submit it, if you like.
 
ah ok :blushing: didn't know

go ahead and delete this topic and the tutorial one also :)
 
I'll leave this one, and delete the other one. The Tutorial Forum is more for documents that can help students solve homework problems. For example a document that shows some solutions to a selection of problems involving conservation of 4-momentum would be what we are looking for in a Special Relativity "tutorial".

Thanks again,

TM
 

Thread 'Physical Interpretation of Frame Field'

Moderator's note: Spin-off from another thread due to topic change. In the second link referenced, there is a claim about a physical interpretation of frame field. Consider a family of observers whose worldlines fill a region of spacetime. Each of them carries a clock and a set of mutually orthogonal rulers. Each observer points in the (timelike) direction defined by its worldline's tangent at any given event along it. What about the rulers each of them carries ? My interpretation: each...
