special relativity

基本解释

Special relativity deals with physical extremes.
狭义相对论同物理极限相关。
Under special relativity, if something travels faster than the speed of light, it goes backwards in time.
根据狭义相对论，如果有什么东西比光速旅行得更快，它就会把时间向后推移。
According to Albert Einstein’s 106-year-old theory of special relativity, nothing can travel faster than light in a vacuum because its particles have no mass.
根据阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦106年前提出的狭义相对论：由于光没有质量，在真空环境没有任何物质能够超越光速。

Some of you are probably going to be doctors and you don't know why I'm going to do special relativity or quantum mechanics, but you don't know when it will come in handy.
你们中的有些人可能会成为医生,但你们现在不能理解,我为什么要讲相对论和量子力学,但是说不定什么时候,你就用上了呢

Einstein's special relativity theory that says energy equals mass times the speed of light squared underlies "pretty much everything in modern physics, " said John Ellis, a theoretical physicist at CERN who was not involved in the experiment.
