• The Principles of Special Relativity: From Galilean Relativity to Einstein's Two PostulatesWe verify by computation that Maxwell's equations change form under a Galilean transformation, see what the Michelson-Morley experiment actually ruled out, and follow the logic by which Einstein's two postulates force us to abandon absolute time.PhysicsRelativityUndergraduatespecial relativityGalilean transformationinvariance of light speedMichelson-Morley experimentrelativity of simultaneity~30 min
