could someone be kind enough to explain to me why the fundamental postulates of special relativity introduced
thanks
thanks
firstly thanks for the replies, but to clarify: i already know what they are, just curious as to why they are what they areFredrik said:I'm not sure if you're asking what the postulates of special relativity are, or why they are what they are.
Good question. No one knows why the fundamental constants are why they are what they appear to be. At some time, even the axioms break down.vladimir69 said:firstly thanks for the replies, but to clarify: i already know what they are, just curious as to why they are what they are

The fundamental postulates of Special Relativity are:
These postulates are important because they form the basis of Special Relativity and explain the behavior of objects moving at high speeds. They also allow us to make accurate predictions about the behavior of objects in different reference frames.
No, these postulates do not contradict Newton's laws of motion. Newton's laws are still valid for objects moving at speeds much slower than the speed of light.
These postulates show that time and space are not absolute and can change depending on the observer's frame of reference. This is known as the theory of relativity.
Yes, these postulates can be applied to everyday life, especially in fields such as GPS technology, which relies on the principles of Special Relativity to make accurate calculations for location and time. Additionally, these postulates have led to advancements in technology, such as particle accelerators, that help us better understand the behavior of matter at high speeds.
