Astounding Stories, March, 1931 But we can carry out this consideration just as well on the basis of the theory of relativity. Relativity: The Special and General Theory Such a view might perhaps be tolerated, in connection with the theory of relativity, by an indulgent interpretation of language, but it is certainly not that which the language of the theory most naturally suggests. The Philosophy of the Conditioned He is meticulously careful in stressing the point that the demarcations arrived at by the use of his abacus are not absolute, but conditioned by Einstein's theory of relativity.

Take Me for a Ride: coming of age in a destructive cult But the general theory of relativity permits of our answering it with a moderate degree of certainty, and in this connection the difficulty mentioned in Section 30 finds its solution. Relativity: The Special and General Theory Thus we may also say, I think, that the ether of the general theory of relativity is the outcome of the Lorentzian ether, through relativation. Sidelights on Relativity But the general theory of relativity permits of our answering it with a moduate degree of certainty, and in this connection the difficulty mentioned in Section 30 finds its solution. Relativity : the Special and General Theory Lorentz, and used by Einstein and Minkowski as the basis of their novel theory of relativity. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 Whether that is Einstein's theory of relativity or not, I don't know. Vignettes of San Francisco To what extent is the special theory of relativity supported by experience?� Relativity: The Special and General Theory Recapitulating, we may say that according to the general theory of relativity space is endowed with physical qualities; in this sense, therefore, there exists an ether. Sidelights on Relativity In accordance with the theory of relativity the kinetic energy of a material point of mass m is no longer given by the well-known expression eq. Relativity : the Special and General Theory The resulting formulae are those for the electromagnetic theory of relativity, or, as it is now termed, the restricted theory. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 The theory of relativity has more than one expression indeed, and things are small when looked at from a height. Letters of Franklin K. Lane This, however, would be an error—the sort of error that the theory of relativity avoids. The Analysis of Mind Let us call to mind what the general theory of relativity teaches in this respect. Sidelights on Relativity To what extent is the special theory of relativity supported by experience? Relativity : the Special and General Theory There are scientific theories, such as the theory of relativity in physics or gene theory in biology, that are as philosophically relevant as they are scientifically significant. The Civilization of Illiteracy Certainly, from the standpoint of the special theory of relativity, the ether hypothesis appears at first to be an empty hypothesis. Sidelights on Relativity Meanwhile the physicists, especially Einstein and other exponents of the theory of relativity, have been making "matter" less and less material. The Analysis of Mind More careful reflection teaches us, however, that the special theory of relativity does not compel us to deny ether. Sidelights on Relativity Mach's idea finds its full development in the ether of the general theory of relativity. Sidelights on Relativity The cuneiform tablets could not hold the depth of thinking of the formulas in which the theory of relativity is expressed. The Civilization of Illiteracy The contrast between ether and matter would fade away, and, through the general theory of relativity, the whole of physics would become a complete system of thought, like geometry, kinematics, and the theory of gravitation. Sidelights on Relativity Not only the practical geometry of Euclid, but also its nearest generalisation, the practical geometry of Riemann, and therewith the general theory of relativity, rest upon this assumption. Sidelights on Relativity The special theory of relativity forbids us to assume the ether to consist of particles observable through time, but the hypothesis of ether in itself is not in conflict with the special theory of relativity. Sidelights on Relativity Thence it follows that the above assumption for tracts must also hold good for intervals of clock-time in the theory of relativity. Sidelights on Relativity The space-time theory and the kinematics of the special theory of relativity were modelled on the Maxwell-Lorentz theory of the electromagnetic field. Sidelights on Relativity This theory therefore satisfies the conditions of the special theory of relativity, but when viewed from the latter it acquires a novel aspect. Sidelights on Relativity The idea of the measuring-rod and the idea of the clock co-ordinated with it in the theory of relativity do not find their exact correspondence in the real world.
