SPECIAL RELATIVITY

SPECIAL RELATIVITY:

• General: Introductory: Wedgbury 1995; Wright 2005;
  • The theory of relativity and the Pythagorean theorem by L. B. Okun [Physics Uspekhi 51, 622 (2008)] Although written at an "introductory" level, this is (like many of Okun's popular-science articles) really very sophisticated and worth the attention of people who may think they already know the material.
