This study concludes that, quite apart from enormity of the consequences of the two postulates of Albert Einstein¿s theory of special relativity, taken together, including length contraction, time dilation, and the requirement to assume a point electron in the unsuccessful attempt to introduce special relativity into quantum electrodynamics, the evidence in support of Einstein¿s second postulate on the constancy of the speed of light is far ou...

This volume provides annotated translations of the primary sources, which were largely in German, leading up to Einstein's theory of general relativity, in which Einstein attempted to extend his theory of special relativity beyond space and time, to include matter and gravitational fields, by introducing gravity through his "equivalence principle" - the equivalence of gravity and acceleration. This resulted in Einstein rejecting the second pos...

This is not a sourcebook in the conventional sense. It is a working document which brings together annotated extracts from 107 primary sources, or translations of them, of the development of quantum electrodynamics, so that it is easier for a researcher to deal with the large volume of material. Links to internet copies of the primary documents or alternative sources are provided where available to enable these to be consulted. A summary is pr...

In 1916, Einstein proposed three tests of general relativity, subsequently called the "classical tests" of general relativity:. the perihelion precession of Mercury's orbit. the deflection of light by the Sun. the gravitational redshift of light.The key evidence on which Einstein relied to support his theory was the first of these, which related to unexplained errors in the observations of Mercury's orbit reported in 1859 by Urbain Le Verrier,...
