The Clock Paradox in Special Relativity

EPR Paradox Solved by Special Theory of Relativity

This paper uses the special theory of relativity (SR) to introduce a novel solution to EinsteinPodolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox. More specifically, the faster-than-light (FTL) communication is described to explain two types of EPR paradox experiments: photon polarization and electronpositron pair spins. And most importantly, this paper explains why this FTL communication does not violate the SR.

Special Relativity

References 43 Index 45 ii Preface For me, the wonder of special relativity lies in its successful prediction of interesting and very nonintuitive phenomena from simple arguments with simple premises. These notes have three (perhaps ambitious) aims: (a) to introduce undergraduates to special relativity from its founding principle to its varied consequences, (b) to serve as a reference for those ...

Special Relativity

Inertial frames are frames related by a constant velocity along any axis. An object is at rest in an inertial frame when its position in space does not change with time. We consider two inertial frames: the 26-100 (S) frame in which we are at rest and the Space Shuttle frame (S ′) which moves relative to S with a velocity u along the x axis and in which the Shuttle is at rest. Newton postulated...

The Language of Special Relativity

The Special Theory of Relativity is often interpreted as forcing us to accept a conceptual revolution in our thinking about space, time, and the temporal distinction between past, present, and future. Most importantly, it is claimed that the notion of absolute simultaneity that is embodied in our pre-relativistic thinking about time must be abandoned. Thus, our natural language use of linguisti...
