Special theory of relativity: dynamics
... The special theory of relativity is a complete description of dynamics in inertial reference frames. However, already at the level of this de nition there is a fundamental problem. An inertial reference frame is de ned as a frame in which all forces acting on objects originate from other objects in ...

pts.) (5 1. pt.) Why is the sky blue?
... Light travels through a vacuum at a speed of 300 000 km per second. Thus, an image we see from a distant star or galaxy must have been generated some time ago. For example, the star Altair is 16 light years away; if we look at an image of Altair today, we know only what was happening 16 years ago. ...
