Science, Physics, Relativity, Faq's and Feedback
This site is about The Laws of Physics, about how and what we know, understanding, thinking, learning, having doubts, to raise questions and issues, to make suggestions, to be critical and skeptical, to make compromises, to acknowledge that we do not know and to agree that there are limits and that we will sometimes never know.

Relativity and the Cosmos by Alan Lightman
In November of 1919, at the age of 40, Albert Einstein became an overnight celebrity, thanks to a solar eclipse. An experiment had confirmed that light rays from distant stars were deflected by the gravity of the sun...

The Day the Universe Went All Funny by Kenny Felder
This paper will cover what I consider to be the fundamental concepts of Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. Somebody else might totally disagree that these are the "fundamental concepts," of course; for instance, you'll note that I don't touch the fabled E = mc2 beast. But I don't think anyone would disagree that this paper will give you a solid basis for studying relativity - at least, a much more solid basis than nothing at all, which is what I'm going to assume you start with.

Bienvenue au Relativity Channel
The laws of mechanics (or motion) before the twentieth century were mainly based on principles established in the 17th century. Newton discovered many of these laws. These "classical laws" were very simple and easy to understand for the average layman. For example...
