79Michelson-Morley Experiment
The ether is the hypothetical medium that at one time was thought to support light waves. Many people feel that the Michelson-Morley experiment proved that the ether does not exit. However, this reasoning and...

74Using the Minkowski Diagram
The Minkowski diagram offers a way to visualize and to answer some questions about the special theory of relativity. It can also be used to show the relationship between mass & momentum and energy &...

77Hyperbolic Functions
Hyperbolic functions are related to the rectangular hyperbola, like the trigonometric functions are related to a circle. The equation for a hyperbola is x2/a2 - y2/b2 = 1. Hyperbolic functions are based on a...

63Double Slit Experment
If you project light thought a narrow slit, a single band of light can be seen on a screen behind the slit. This is illustrated in fig. 1. Fig. 1 If you project light through two narrow slits,...

52Relativity Measurements
How can an observer measure the lengths or times occurring in another system that is passing him with a very high velocity? He can not hold up a yardstick and compare it with a yard-stick in the system that...

53A Relativity Question
This is a thought experiment to show how two different observers might measure the speed of light along a single path if they could get a cylinder to rotate at 107 revolutions per second. In figure 1...

71The Lack of Simultaneity between moving observers
When two events occur at the same time, they are said to have occurred simultaneously. However, what appears to occur simultaneous to one observer will not appear simultaneous to another observer traveling at...

70Relativity indicates the possible existence of the Ether
In fig. 1, we see a spacecraft passing the earth at a constant 148,800 miles per second, 80% the speed of light. The observers on earth, see the spacecraft contracted to (1-v2/c2)1/2 = 60% its original...

69How to Draw Four Dimensional Figures
In this article we will see how to draw a 2- dimensional representation of 4- dimensional objects. Fig. 1 The Number Line 1-D Space Fig. 1 shows the x-axis or number line. This is a single...
