We've just begun studying about relativity, and I find it amazing that bodies have the energy of E=γmc^2. Even at rest they have E=mc^2. But where exactly is this energy present in real life? For example the keyboard I am currently typing this post with has a huge amount of energy, according to...

Hello, In my professor's lecture notes she gives this example and I have a couple of questions regarding it:Let M = \mathbb Z/6\mathbb Z and f: M \rightarrow M, x \rightarrow x+1 the cyclical permutation of the elements from M. Then is G := \{id_M, f, f^2,f^3,f^4,f^5\} a subset from S_M...

I always liked the idea of starting relativity discussions with the idea that your father could travel at a substantial fraction of the speed of light and return back at roughly the same age as you. This makes time dilation seem interesting, and drives curiosity in students. But I'm struggling...
