Special Relativity “Nothing but Relativity” by Palash B. Pal shows that only Galilean and Einstein Relativity are even possible with the “Principle of Relativity”Nothing but Relativity “Principle of Relativity” ≡ “Physical laws appear the same to any inertial observer.”inertial

There is a Fastest Speed What ever that fastest speed is nothing can move faster than fastest. c is the fastest speed. Experimentally this, c, is the speed of light, electromagnetic radiation, in a vacuum.speed of light v is the speed, this formula actually is only correct when v 1 and v 2 are in the same direction, velocity addition formulae.velocity addition formulae

Correct velocity addition formulae for non-colinear velocities Velocities_Formula

Newton’s Universal Law of Gravity F 12 is the force on object 2 due to object 1. G is the gravitational constant.gravitational constant m 1 and m 2 are respectively the masses of objects 1 and 2. r 21 = |r 2 − r 1 | is the distance between objects 2 and 1. is the unit vector from object 1 to 2.unit vector

Einstein’s Energy Mass relationship E is the energy, M is the mass, and c the speed of light

Speed = frequency wavelength tautology λ is the wavelength f is the frequency

Planck’s Law h is Planck’s constant, energy time

Substituting things and solving for the wavelength

Substituting things and solving for the frequency T is the period of oscillation

Time is quantitized at this level, so called “third quantitization.” Planck time (Gh/(2  c 3 )) 1/2 =1.6160x m  l P the Planck length, an extention, smallest length, quanta of distance, where! Space is quantitized at this level, so called “third quantitization.” Planck length

46x10 9 light-years radius of the universe, so an estimate of the current information content, pixels, of the universe, since creation could be made. So here it is the current estimate of the information content of the universe, which is an always increasing number, because time is advancing; we get older and not younger; it’s a one way trip; no time travel allowed (you can not kill your mother before you were conceived); and the observable universe is expanding and accelerating since the creation event:universeobservable universe 13.7x10 9 years/t P *4  /3*(46x10 9 light-years/l P ) 3 =6.6x
