(1) Objects in motion (or at rest) remain in motion (or at rest) unless an

external force imposes change.

(2) Force is equal to the change in momentum per change of time. For a
constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.

(3) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

But there were cracks in the theory for decades before Einstein's arrival on

the scene, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. In 1865, Scottish physicist
James Clerk Maxwell demonstrated that light is a wave with both electrical
and magnetic components, and established the speed of light (186,000 miles
per second). Scientists supposed that the light had to be transmitted through
some medium, which they called the ether. (We now know that no
transmission medium is required, and that light in space moves in a vacuum.)

Twenty years later, an unexpected result threw this into question. Physicist
A.A. Michelson and chemist Edward Morley (both Americans at the time)
calculated how Earth's motion through this "ether" affected how the speed of
light is measured, and found that the speed of light is the same no matter
what Earth's motion is. This led to further musings on light's behavior — and
its incongruence with classical mechanics — by Austrian physicist Ernst Mach
and French mathematician Henri Poincare.

Einstein began thinking of light's behavior when he was just 16 years old, in
1895. He did a thought experiment, the encyclopedia said, where he rode on
one light wave and looked at another light wave moving parallel to him. 

Classical physics should say that the light wave Einstein was looking at would
have a relative speed of zero, but this contradicted Maxwell's equations that
showed light always has the same speed: 186,000 miles a second. Another
problem with relative speeds is they would show that the laws
of electromagnetism change depending on your vantage point, which
contradicted classical physics as well (which said the laws of physics were the
same for everyone.)

This led to Einstein's eventual musings on the theory of special relativity,

which he broke down into the everyday example of a person standing beside
a moving train, comparing observations with a person inside the train. He
imagined the train being at a point in the track equally between two trees. If a
bolt of lightning hit both trees at the same time, due to the motion of the train,
the person on the train would see the bolt hit one tree before the other tree.
But the person beside the track would see simultaneous strikes.

"Einstein concluded that simultaneity is relative; events that are simultaneous

for one observer may not be for another," the encyclopedia stated. "This led
him to the counterintuitive idea that time flows differently according to the
state of motion, and to the conclusion that distance is also relative."

Famous equation
Einstein's work led to some startling results, which today still seem
counterintuitive at first glance even though his physics is usually introduced at
the high school level.

One of the most famous equations in mathematics comes from special
relativity. The equation — E = mc2 — means "energy equals mass times the
speed of light squared." It shows that energy (E) and mass (m) are
interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing. If mass is
somehow totally converted into energy, it also shows how much energy would
reside inside that mass: quite a lot. (This equation is one of the
demonstrations for why an atomic bomb is so powerful, once its mass is
converted to an explosion.)

This equation also shows that mass increases with speed, which effectively
puts a speed limit on how fast things can move in the universe. Simply put,
the speed of light (c) is the fastest velocity at which an object can travel in a
vacuum. As an object moves, its mass also increases. Near the speed of light,
the mass is so high that it reaches infinity, and would require infinite energy to
move it, thus capping how fast an object can move. The only reason light
moves at the speed it does is because photons, the quantum particles that
make up light, have a mass of zero.

A special situation in the universe of the small, called "quantum

entanglement," is confusing because it seems to involve quantum particles
interacting with each other at speeds faster than the speed of light.
Specifically, measuring the property of one particle can instantly tell you the
property of another particle, no matter how far away they are. Much has been
written about this phenomenon, which is still not fully explained in terms of
Einstein's conclusions. 

Another strange conclusion of Einstein's work comes from the realization that
time moves relative to the observer. An object in motion experiences time
dilation, meaning that time moves more slowly when one is moving, than
when one is standing still. Therefore, a person moving ages more slowly than
a person at rest. So yes, when astronaut Scott Kelly spent nearly a year
aboard the International Space Station in 2015-16, his twin astronaut
brother Mark Kelly aged a little faster than Scott.

This becomes extremely apparent at speeds approaching the speed of light.

Imagine a 15-year-old traveling at 99.5 percent the speed of light for five
years (from the astronaut's perspective). When the 15-year-old gets back to
Earth, according to NASA, he would be only 20 years old. His classmates,
however, would be 65 years old.
While this time dilation sounds very theoretical, it does have practical
applications as well. If you have a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) receiver
in your car, the receiver attempts to find signals from at least three satellites to
coordinate your position. The GPS satellites send out timed radio signals that
the receiver listens to, triangulating (or more properly speaking, trilaterating)
its position based on the travel time of the signals. The challenge is, the
atomic clocks on the GPS are moving and would therefore run faster than
atomic clocks on Earth, creating timing issues. So, engineers need to make
the clocks on a GPS tick slower, according to Richard Pogge, an astronomer
at Ohio State University.
