1 Galileo’s principle and light waves It was common wisdom among scientists since the time of Galileo that velocity is a relative notion. That is, it makes no sense to say that the velocity of an object has some parti

1 Speed of light is the maximal possible speed We saw that the length of a moving object shrinks. If its length at rest was l0 , then when it is moving with velocity v its length becomes

What is Gravity Probe B? Gravity Probe B (GP-B) is a NASA physics mission to experimentally investigate Einstein’s 1916 general theory of relativity—his theory of gravity. GP-B uses four spherical gyroscopes and a te
