52History of special relativity — The History of special relativity consists of many theoretical and empirical results of physicists like Hendrik Lorentz and Henri Poincaré, which culminated in the theory of special relativity proposed by Albert Einstein, and subsequent work of… …

54Twin paradox — In physics, the twin paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity, in which a twin makes a journey into space in a high speed rocket and returns home to find he has aged less than his identical twin who stayed on Earth. This result… …
55Relativity priority dispute — Albert Einstein presented the theories of Special Relativity and General Relativity in groundbreaking publications that either contained no formal references to previous literature, or referred only to a small number of his predecessors for… …
56Lorentz transformation — A visualisation of the Lorentz transformation (full animation). Only one space coordinate is considered. The thin solid lines crossing at right angles depict the time and distance coordinates of an observer at rest with respect to that frame; the …
57Alternatives to general relativity — are physical theories that attempt to describe the phenomena of gravitation in competition to Einstein s theory of general relativity.There have been many different attempts at constructing an ideal theory of gravity. These attempts can be split… …
58Relativité générale — Pour les articles homonymes, voir relativité. La relativité générale, fondée sur le principe de covariance générale qui étend le principe de relativité aux référentiels non inertiels, est une théorie relativiste de la gravitation, c est à dire qu …
