    Undergrad How are the photoelectric effect and special relativity related?

    my physics teacher told me to include it in my report. Something to do with the prooving SR? Does the effect somehow back it up?

    Graduate Explain Independent Continuum: Einstein's Theory

    s right ok. This is comlicated. im going to stick to 'constants' for now. I am writing a research paper on special relativity, clearly i haven't understood a great deal! Thanks for the help though guys, i semi understood what youre saying.

    Graduate Explain Independent Continuum: Einstein's Theory

    hmm ok. When you speak of the combined values, is this due to the fact that as time dilates, space also contracts? So one would not notice the change..? :s

    Graduate Explain Independent Continuum: Einstein's Theory

    "Independent Continuum" Can anybody please explain to me what this actually means. My understanding in very vague terms is that something is constant, with reference to Einstein's The Special and General Theory book, where he says that we often think of time (and space i think) as "independent...

    Undergrad Grasping Special Relativity: Concept Understanding for 17yo

    I suppose that's what my problem is. I hate writing things when i don't understand them. If there's any contradictions in my mind, ill go too deep into it. I often find problems writing english literature essays also, just as i do with more theoretic physics.. although it may also be to with the...
