General relativity is one of the most profound statements in science. It is a theory of gravity that allows us to model the large-scale structure of the Universe, to understand and explain the motions and workings of stars, to reveal how gravity interacts with light...

Despite successes of modern physics, the existence of dark energy and matter is indicative that conventional mechanical accounting is lacking. The most basic of all mechanical principles is Newton’s second law, and conventionally, energy is just energy whether particle...

Einsteins neue Deutung der Zeit ist der Kern seiner Speziellen Relativitätstheorie (SRT). In der SRT spielt die Zeit nicht mehr die Rolle eines reinen Parameters unabhängig vom Raum; dies führt zu Konsequenzen, die für uns sehr befremdlich sind. Alle ungewohnten...

There is little doubt that Einstein's theory of relativity captures the imagination. Not only has it radically altered the way we view the universe, but the theory also has a considerable number of surprises in store. This is especially so in the three main topics of...

Motion is always relative to some thing. Is this thing a concrete body like the earth, is it an abstract space, or is it an imagined frame? Do the laws of physics depend on the choice of reference? It there a choice for which the laws are simplest? Is this choice...
