In our normal
life here on earth, the classical physics
that came from Sir Issac Newton are more
than enough to satisfy how things are
working; but eventually scientists began
to discover cases when things that were
moving very fast (near the speed of light
which is roughly 2*10^8 m/s) did not
behave the way classical physics said that
they should. It was Special relativity is
a theory put forth by Albert Einstein in
1905 that explained what was happening. In
this website, we will focus on 3 of the
biggest changes that Special Relativity
brought about: space, time, and Galilean
transformations.
