Special Relativity 11 - Simultaneity and Length Contraction Speaker(s): Richard Epp
Abstract: A continuation of the SR-10 discussion on length contraction. Resolving Principle 2*.
Learning Outcomes: • Relativity of simultaneity revisited – gaining a deeper understanding of what it means. • A full understanding of the nature of length contraction based on relativity of simultaneity. • Resolving a key paradox in special relativity: Principle 2*, introduced in SR-4. How it is possible to measure the same speed for the light whether you are running toward or away from a flashlight. Date: 13/08/2008 - 9:00 am
