It’s not by accident that examples of special relativity tend to involve light signals

4 It’s not by accident that examples of special relativity tend to involve light signals and trains. In the chapter from his book in this week’s reading, Peter Galison draws a connection between highly abstract arguments about the nature of space and time, and strictly technological advances in the late 19th century (see under ”readings” in the files section on Canvas). He thus suggests that Einstein’s seemingly humdrum work in the Swiss Patent Office might in fact be crucial to his thinking about fundamental physics. Briefly describe two connections between 19th century technology and the ideas that Einstein explored in developing special relativity (one paragraph each is fine).

Hint
ScienceSpecial relativity is basically an explanation of how the speed affects the mass, time and space. Also, this theory includes a way for the speed of light to explain the relationship between the energy and matter, small amounts of mass (m) could be interchangeable with enormous amounts of energy (E), which is defined by the classic equation, i.e. E = mc^2....
