  • Theory of Relativity Misnamed?

    One of the groups that I have lunch with likes to discuss physics and astronomy. During one of these lunches, there was a bit of confusion about the Theory of Relativity (ToR), with people not being quite sure whether it means that measurements depend upon one's frame of reference. I was fortunately...

  • Space-Time Curvature for Mort

    Should have said last time that space-time "curvature" is relativity code-speak for "acceleration" or "gravitation." It's often something one can feel. Here's an imaginary example. Put a very precise atomic clock, call it A, on board a rocket. Put another, identical...
