Albert Einstein's Original Papers on Special Relativity - A Completely New and Modern Translation!
In 1905, Einstein published two groundbreaking papers on the special theory of relativity, which literally revolutionized modern physics. Even more importantly, special relativity radically changed our thousand-years-old view of the world, in particular, that of space and time.
## "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies", Published on 9/26/1905:
Einstein starts his seminal paper on special relativity with the relativity of electricity and magnetism. Yes. He does. Even if you have some exposure to this subject before, most likely, you would not have known that. Electricity and magnetism are just different manifestations of the same underlying physical process, only depending on the rest inertial frame. The special relativity that they teach in university is a total rubbish. Read this critically important paper by Einstein, and you will know how it all started.
## "Does the Inertia of a Body Depend on its Energy Content?", Published on 11/21/1905:
Obviously, E = mc^2 is the most famous equation in science. And yet, very few people, even experienced and well-respected physicists, do not fully understand what this equation really means. You would be surprised how many misconceptions are there regarding this seemingly simple formula. Again, read Einstein's original paper, and understand, truly understand, the idea of mass-energy equivalence.
These two papers by Einstein are now so much more accessible to any physicists, students or professionals, through this all new English translation. (Serious relativists used to learn German just to read these papers!)
Our understanding of space and time, or spacetime, is still incomplete. In fact, there has been no real progress in our fundamental view of space and time since Einstein's work in the early 20th century. Maybe, we are all just waiting for the next Einstein....
Any serious student of relativity, and space and time, should study these original papers by Einstein!
In addition, this book includes all new translations of two additional papers on the principle of mass-energy equivalence by Einstein, which were published in the following couple of years.
* "The Principle of Conservation of Momentum of the Center of Mass and the Inertia of Energy", Published on 6/26, 1906.
* "On the Inertia of Energy Required by the Relativity Principle", Published on 6/13, 1907.
