| Description | The main concepts of relativity are mentioned in historical context. Namely thought experiments by Galileo were foundational for his perception of relativity. We illustrate the use of thought experiments that led to the conclusions reached in Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity. The presented thought experiments can be presented into first years of college physics program. |
