II. Angles and their role in Special Relativity
Introduction Right angles help define the space around us. In addition to their usefulness for local space, right angles are necessary for understanding “inertial reference frames” used in Einstein’s theory of special (and general) relativity. Four thousand years before Einstein, the Egyptians knew how to use geometry and four equally spaced right (90˚) angles for…
