Introduction to Special Relativity Chapter 1 Introduction to Special Relativity Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) PhD – University of Zürich (1905) Nobel Prize in Physics (1921) Photoelectric effect (1905) Special theory of relativity (1905) General theory of relativity (1907–1915) Bose-Einstein statistics (1924) Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox (1935)

First postulate (Principle of Relativity): The laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames of reference. Second Postulate (Constancy of the speed of light): The speed of light in vacuum has the same value in all inertial frames of reference.
