Therefore, if we have two charged particles moving, the interaction is much more than a simple Biot-Savart law. Each chapter has a manga section where Minagi learns some aspect of relativity, followed by a more detailed text explaining the principles in full. Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. The truth is that length contraction in all inertial frames of reference in which clocks have been Einstein-adjusted is a fundamental empirical fact for which special relativity has no explanation. In some sense, as explained in Scott's article on map-making, his breakthrough is very similar to the Greek's discovery of the roundness of the Earth! I think the explanation lies somewhere in here, but I'll get back to you when I've gone through the math. Hard real photon scattering on nucleons, Wrong explanation (VMD contradicts Special Relativity), Easily explained (real photons interact with monopoles). Motions in these tangent spaces of objects on which only gravity acts are simply lines. Relativity simply explained by einstein. I'm not sure I see what you mean… Imagine that Tangent spacetimes are simple. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. Unless the constancy of the two-way speed of In the case of the sphere model of electricity, initially I developed it not in order to explain length contraction but simply to explain the independence of the speed of light from its source. Indeed, they are vector spaces which can be described by special relativity.
