C)the speed of light must be measured relative to the ether
D)momentum is not conserved in high speed collisions
E)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the theory of relativity, moving clocks actually run slower (time dilation), energy is conserved in all physical processes (including high-speed collisions, with mass-energy equivalence taken into account), and the speed of light is constant in all inertial frames of reference (not measured relative to any ether, which the theory disproves). Momentum is also conserved, but the definition of momentum is modified at relativistic speeds to ensure conservation. Therefore, none of the provided statements A through D are correct according to the theory of relativity.
