    Theory of special relativity
    (UMT Lahore, 2025-02) SANA QAMAR; AYESHA MUMTAZ
    This project explores Albert Einstein's special relativity theory, which was developed in 1905 and completely changed the way we think about space, time as well as energy. The two main tenets of the theory are that the speed of light is constant for every viewer in a vacuum and that the laws of physics remain the same across all inertial frameworks of reference. These ideas give rise to revolutionary and paradoxical phenomena like the renowned equation E=mc², which represents the mass-energy equivalency, time dilation, and length contraction. The study investigates the theoretical underpinnings of special relativity and offers a thorough examination of its physical implications and mathematical representations. It looks at important experimental evidence for the theory, including the Michelson-Morley experiment and muon observations in particle accelerators. The beneficial uses of special relativity are also covered, emphasizing its importance in contemporary physics, particularly in high-energy physics and astrophysics, and its impact on innovations like the GPS. This project highlights the significant influence of special relativity on modern scientific thought and its continuing significance in the continuous search to comprehend the cosmos through an extensive analysis of the literature and experimental data. The conclusions reached show how this theory is still expanding and challenging our understanding of reality, impacting both theoretical study and real-world technology developments.
