Two firecrackers explode in a lab with a time difference of 4 seconds and a space separation of 5 light-seconds (both space and time measured by equipment at rest in the lab). What is the distance between these two events in a rocket in which they occur at the same time?

Amanda pilots a space ship away from earth at a speed of 0.775c. At some moment she sends a light pulse toward earth. Exactly one year later she sends another pulse toward earth. (a) As measured in an inertial frame in which the earth is at rest, what is the difference in time between the generation of the two pulses? (b) What is the difference in time between detection of the two pulses on earth? Treat the earth as stationary,...

Prior to the 20th century scientists saw space and time as distinct. After all, we can measure the distance between two points without making any reference to time, and we can speak of the amount of time that has passed between two events without making any reference to motion. However, in the special theory of relativity we do not think of space and time as distinct. Rather space and time are interwoven into a single continuum. Explain why this view...
