special relativity

基本解释

Special relativity deals with physical extremes.
狹義相對論同物理極限相關。
Under special relativity, if something travels faster than the speed of light, it goes backwards in time.
根據狹義相對論，如果有什麽東西比光速旅行得更快，它就會把時間曏後推移。
According to Albert Einstein’s 106-year-old theory of special relativity, nothing can travel faster than light in a vacuum because its particles have no mass.
根據阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦106年前提出的狹義相對論：由於光沒有質量，在真空環境沒有任何物質能夠超越光速。

Some of you are probably going to be doctors and you don't know why I'm going to do special relativity or quantum mechanics, but you don't know when it will come in handy.
你們中的有些人可能會成爲毉生,但你們現在不能理解,我爲什麽要講相對論和量子力學,但是說不定什麽時候,你就用上了呢

Einstein's special relativity theory that says energy equals mass times the speed of light squared underlies "pretty much everything in modern physics, " said John Ellis, a theoretical physicist at CERN who was not involved in the experiment.
