Special relativity: from Einstein to strings John H. Schwarz, Patricia M. Schwarz
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

The versions of string theory that physicists consider promising would only include a radically simplified version of general relativity, Einstein's theory of gravity. (Phys.org)—Possibly the most well-known consequence of Einstein's theory of special relativity is that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, c. Challenging Einstein's Special Relativity: Herbert Dingle - Science at the Crossroads. Saturday, 23 March 2013 at 16:25. Einstein's special theory of relativity rests on the notion that all forms of electromagnetic radiation travel through space at the same speed, no matter what their energy level. The results seem to This is the tried-and-tired mode of string theorists, who “string us along” decade after decade by saying that bigger and bigger supercollider experiments merely set an upper-limit to the mass of the hypothesized superparticles they are looking for. Below, you will find three courses (the first of eventually six) presented by Leonard Susskind, a Stanford physicist who helped conceptualize string theory and has waged a long-running “Black Hole War” with Stephen Hawking (see his and YouTube (see below), these video lectures trace the beginnings of modern theoretical physics, taking you from Isaac Newton (or Newtonian Mechanics) to Albert Einstein's work on the general and special theories of relativity. According to the mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc2, an object traveling at c would have infinite mass and What I mean by "this" isn't the creation of a new theory that incorporates older ones (like string theory).

Einstein posited that the geometry of space is not fixed and immutable, but rather than instantaneously as in Newton's spooky “action at a distance.” And it would fully be consistent with Einstein's earlier, “special” relativity, with its slowing clocks, shrinking measuring sticks, paradoxes of the twins, and so on.
