2. World Lines t for time
x for distance
dx/dt speed
3. Space-time At least one space dimension not shown
4. World lines, sheets, and volumesof particles, strings, and branes We know we live in a universe with at least 3 space dimensions that we have some freedom in.
Maybe more elaborate structures exist, but we do not as yet perceive them.
5. Special Relativity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity_for_beginners
Nothing but Relativity by Palash B. Pal shows that only Galilean and Einstein Relativity are even possible with the Principle of Relativity
Principle of Relativity = Physical laws appear the same to any inertial observer.
6. There is a Fastest Speed What ever that fastest speed is nothing can move faster than fastest. c is the fastest speed. Experimentally this, c, is the speed of light, electromagnetic radiation, in a vacuum.
