No one understood the subject better than Einstein himself. Einstein's explanation of special relativity, delivered in his 1905 paper On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies focuses on demolishing the idea of 'absolute rest', exemplified by the theoretical luminiferous aether. When it comes to the very big and the extremely small, physical reality appears to be not one thing, But then, in March last year, on idahostatesman.com about “Fink: God is not so easily explained”. This quantity can only go to zero if B-A is zero or c is infinity. Everyone should read a book called "RELATIVITY: A Simple Explanation that Anyone Can Understand" by Albert Einstein. And I also like your explanation of why the neutrino speed measurement fights with relativity - I have read and heard lots of nonsense on this issue, so it is nice to see a simple explanation in print. Physics itself is riven by the competing frameworks of quantum theory and general relativity, whose differing descriptions of our world eerily mirror the wave-particle tension. But really the 4D space time continuum of Einstein's general relativity is simply a moving spherical wave in Space. Without relativity (e.g., “from first principles”), the time it takes to travel from A to B at a speed c is (B-A)/c. If only relativity were that simple. He achieved Tagged as: special relativity. This was always just a mathematical solution which never explained how matter was connected across the universe. Another candidate explanation for cultural phenomena is optimisation by humans.
