Abstract
Special Relativity deals with objects moving at constant high speeds, especially close to the speed of light. Key Principles: Constancy of the Speed of Light: Light travels at the same speed in a vacuum for all observers, regardless of their motion. Relativity of Simultaneity: Events that appear simultaneous in one frame may not be in another. Time Dilation: Moving clocks tick slower compared to stationary ones. Length Contraction: Objects moving at relativistic speeds appear shorter in the direction of motion. Mass-Energy Equivalence: Expressed by the famous equation E=mc2E=mc2, showing that mass can be converted into energy
