How would our lives be affected if Einstein's postulates were true but the speed of light were 100 km/h? (Hint: Consider simple specific examples, such as the nature of a highway journey at 60 km/h. What difficulty arises as we try to ac celerate the car to 110 km/h?)
Einstein’s discovery that energy and mass are equivalent had let to technological developments that are both beneficial and dangerous. Discuss three of these developments. Overall, do you think the human race would be better or worse if we had never discovered that mass is a form of energy?
State and explain both of Einstein’s postulates.
