From the relativistic perspective, it is often improperly assumed that a medium for electromagnetic effects is mutually exclusive with the principle of relativity. A conflict, however, is only true for the presumption of one-way light speed isotropy in relativity, which has never been experimentally verified.

Not surprisingly, fellow Christians have objected that the qualification of the truth-bearing finality of Christian doctrine implied by the principle of relativity contradicts the gospel, vitiates faith, compromises missions, and undercuts any advocacy for justice.

This period embraces three of his major works of the period, The Principles of Natural Knowledge in 1919, The Concept of Nature in 1920, and The Principle of Relativity in 1922.

Such an interpretation would require the following two assumptions: first, that Leibniz's theory of space is the expression of a physical principle of relativity; second, that Einstein's relativity implies the most complete form of relativity of movement (p.

In order to derive, using the principle of relativity, the transformation formulae for the field components in the Maxwell-Hertz equations, Einstein wanted first to establish the form of the associated spatio-temporal coordinate transformations.

The Principle of Relativity: A Collection of Original Memoirs on the Special and General Theory of Relativity.

Starting with Galileo's ballistic principle of relativity, he tried to relate all phenomena and laws of physics, including the velocity of light, to all non-accelerating (relative to what?) observers and frames.

The major themes addressed are hyperbolic geometry, automorphic functions, and applications to number theory; ordinary differential equations and dynamical systems; celestial mechanics and related problems; functions of several complex variables; algebraic topology and the Poincare conjecture; partial differential equations of mathematical physics; probability; continuous groups (Lie groups) and their algebras; the principle of relativity and the Poincare group; applied physics; and the philosophy of science.

He presents at least two provocative theses: (1) The second chapter of the Principle of Relativity provides the key for the understanding of both the earlier and later accounts of Whitehead's philosophy of nature (p.

Since rotational symmetry is a first principle of relativity, orthodox spin theorists must confront a tension between relativity and local realism.

Worlds branch along spacelike hypersurfaces, but in a frame-dependent way because of the Principle of Relativity. This explains the correlations of QM without superluminal causation, since measurement simply involves the selection of one branch out of the vast preestablished ensemble.

His first step is to notice that there is a principle implicit in Newton's theory of gravitation ([P.sub.1]) which, if generalized ([P.sub.1]*), makes it possible to generalize and improve the principle of relativity basic to special relativity ([P.sub.2]).

If, after employing the external synchronization, a and b equal to unity, it would mean that mechanical phenomena are ruled by Newtonian physics and subject to the Galilean principle of relativity, while the Maxwell equations (and the relevant constant speed of light) refer to the preferred frame (ether) only.

This assumption extends the principle of relativity to the uniformly accelerated translational motion of the reference system.
