Relativity from Mathematics or Why Newton Could Have Beaten Einstein to the Punch

    Activity: Talk or presentationInvited talk

    Description

    Special Relativity was developed by Albert Einstein and relied crucially on Electromagnetism, a theory not fully developed until 1873. Yet there is nothing in the basic theory's development that requires physics beyond what Newton knew. A derivation of the theory based on Newton's laws and mathematical consistency is presented.
