Chapter 1: A brief overview of SRT

Abstract  
Introduction to Einstein’s two postulates (Postulate 1 and Postulate 2), other the one hand, and Einstein’s five modifications (space transformation, time transformation, relativity of simultaneity, and mass energy equivalence), on the other.

1. Definitions:
Einstein’s Two Postulates-
1) Postulate One: Principle of Relativity- “…for every reference system in which the laws of mechanics are valid, the laws of electrodynamics and optics are also valid.” (Miller, pg. 370)
2) Postulate Two: Principle of the Constancy of the Velocity of Light- “Light is always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c which is independent of the state of motion of the emitting body.” (Miller, pg. 371)
Assumption about light which follows when one puts Einstein’s two postulates together – Light is propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c with respect to every reference system in which the laws of mechanics, electrodynamics, and optics are valid.

Modifications which follow from Einstein’s assumption (stated above) –
1) Space Transformation
2) Time Transformation
3) Mass Transformation
4) Relativity of Simultaneity

Relationship which follows from Einstein’s assumption:
1) Mass Energy Equivalence Relationship

2. Introduction
Einstein starts The Special Theory of Relativity (SRT) off, in his 1905 paper, with the introduction of two postulates. These two postulates, when taken together, produce an assumption about the velocity of light, upon which the remainder of his theory is built.
This is the assumption that light travels isotropically (same speed in all directions) at c, when it travels through empty space, with respect to all “inertial coordinate systems”.
“Inertial coordinate systems” are those systems within which the laws of mechanics (and the laws of electrodynamics and optics, as well, according to Einstein) remain valid.
Four modifications and one relationship follow from this assumption (see definitions, above).
In this paper, we explore Einstein’s postulates, on the one hand, and the modifications/relationship on the other.
