Special Relativity

The laws of physics and speed of light are invariant in inertial frames. Spacetime intervals organise time dilation, length contraction and relativistic energy-momentum.

Core checkpoint: Relativity changes relations between measurements, not the local validity of physics.

Which statement best captures the core checkpoint for Special Relativity?

Relativity changes relations between measurements, not the local validity of physics.
