uncool Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Does anyone know of the mathematical formulation of the postulates of special (and perhaps later, general) relativity? I want to see what I can work out on my own, just from what I've learned about relativity. Thanks! =Uncool- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
