At the turn of the 20th century, there was a conflict between the classical laws of motion and the emerging theory of electromagnetism that was eventually addressed by the theory of Special Relativity. a. What was the conflict between the laws of motion and the laws of electromagnetism at the beginning of the 20th century? Be specific. b. What assumption(s) went into the design of the theory of Special Relativity? Explain the assumptions c. What were some of the surprising consequences laid out by the theory (name and explain at least two)?
