Special Relativity Theory
Special relativity theory, in short, special relativity theory is an epidemiological theory that deals with moving objects at speeds comparable to the speed of light. Special relativity theory replaces Galilean transformation of existing Newtonian mechanics for high speed objects and is consistent with Maxwell's equations of classical electromagnetism, unlike Galileo transformation. The special relativity theory employs the Lunts transformation instead of the Galilean transformation. In this theory, all inertial systems are equivalent, as Galileo asserts, but the luminous flux is equal in all inertial systems, consistent with the Maxwell equations of electromagnetism. In other words, the velocity of light is independent of the relative motion between the object and the observer. Special theory of relativity makes several surprising predictions, all of which have been verified by experiments. With the introduction of Lorentz transformations, time and space can no longer be distinguished kinematically. Therefore, these two are added together to be regarded as an object called time and space, and this is represented as Minkowski space.
