The only known limitation on the speed of classical systems is that objects may not travel faster than the speed of light due to special relativity, but this is unrelated to the energy-time relation in quantum speed limits. The new papers show that speed limits based on a trade-off between energy and time do ...

Examples of such revolutions are the Copernican Revolution (5) producing the heliocentric model of the solar system, and the Einsteinian Revolution of special relativity in which space and time become one (6). In each of these cases (induction, hypothesis testing, abduction), the work of science is ...

... stability proofs have been even harder to find than solutions to the equations themselves. Consider the case of flat, empty Minkowski space — the simplest of all space-time configurations. This solution to Einstein's equations was found in 1908 in the context of Einstein's earlier theory of special relativity.

The consequences of entanglement appear to be in contrast with local causality, which is imposed on spacetime by Special Relativity: a sequence of cause and effect that constitutes a fundamental principle by which we think about and do our scientific work. What Special Relativity forces is a causal ...

Travelling to the future may be possible by outrunning the ageing process, but journeying back to the past is, at present, impossible. As well as special relativity, Einstein also came up with general relativity - which states that time and space are actually the same thing (space-time) and both are affected by ...

Often referred to as “one of the most unread books of all time” for the hard-to-grasp concepts, it included only one equation: E = mc2 or the equivalence of mass and energy, deduced by Einstein from his theory of special relativity. The book outlined the basics of cosmology for the general reader.

For example, the famous formula E=mc2 was a critical part of Einstein's theory of special relativity and though Einstein will forever be known as the formula creator, scientists today have a better understanding of the theory of relativity than Einstein himself. To identify the mathematical discoveries that ...
