Light, Matter, and Energy,the oncoming drivers. However, we also know that the speed of light is absolute. Hence, even if a light beam overtakes us, or we travel towards it, it always passes us at the same speed! It means that the speed of light is one of the fundamental constants of nature. That was Einstein’s great insight

Acceleration and Inertia,ith these phenomena is the theory of special relativity. Now we go one step further and allow the speed to change with time, that is, we allow for acceleration. The simplest case is rotation with constant speed, as on a merry-go-round. Then school geometry ceases to be true, because rods shrink diff

Equivalence Principle in Action,ped objects such as stars or planets. We free-fall towards the ball, starting far away from the ball. The equivalence principle tells us that we do not feel any acceleration. However, the more we approach the ball, the faster we fall towards it. From the falling speed we can deduce how the pace of c

How Mass Creates Gravity,lain language. This is possible, because nature has chosen the law of gravity to be as simple as possible. We will see that gravity basically tends to shrink volumes. We explain in detail exactly how this fits in with the theory of special relativity. However, mass does not only create gravity, via

Solving the Einstein Equation of Gravity, solution of the Einstein equation, namely the Schwarzschild solution. This centers on how space-time bends around a ball-like heavy mass such as a star or planet. In the preceding chapters, we already learned more or less how space-time bends around a ball, letting a small test mass free-fall towar

General Relativity in Action,e a light beam bends while passing the sun. We will see that we really do not only need bending space, but bending space-time, because otherwise we would get only half of the observed angle. We show why the bending space-time forces orbits of the planets to turn slowly around the sun. We even calcul
