Abstract

Einstein?s 1905 paper forms the philosophical foundation for all of relativity. Virtually all other material either ?explains? or applies the theory that is based on that paper, often with particular interest on the complex mathematics. This presentation is aimed at attempting to understand the original paper and why it was so important. To assure validity of the presentation there are only two types of references: basic physics and the paper ?On The Electrodynamics Of Moving Bodies?, the translation of his paper as published in the Dover paperback The Principle of Relativity.
