The Principle Of Relativity by Albert Einstein
A Collection of Original Memoirs on the Special and General Theory of Relativity
A clear, concise exposition of the relativity principle and its physical consequences, presenting the postulates that the laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames and that the speed of light is constant in vacuum; from these premises it derives the Lorentz transformation and explains effects such as time dilation, length contraction, the relativity of simultaneity, and the linkage of mass and energy, while also discussing implications for electrodynamics and the reinterpretation of space and time as a unified continuum.
