Traditional presentations of special relativity place emphasis on "velocity", which of course has an important physical interpretation... carried over…

Learn About Relativity on Rotated Graph Paper

/
This Insight is a follow-up to my earlier tutorial Insight (Spacetime Diagrams of Light Clocks). I gave it a different name because I am placing more…

Learn Time Dilation and Redshift for a Static Black Hole

/
The following is an overview of the time dilation and gravitational redshift effects of a static (Schwarzschild) black hole. By general relativity, a strong…

Learn About Neutrino Masses and Speed

/
It was hard to miss the 2011 OPERA neutrino speed measurement that indicated superluminal neutrino speeds (and turned out to be a measurement error), but…
