coordinate transformation of special relativity.if an event occurs in frame of reference A then the coordinates of the same event in frame of refernece B is x'=x-Vt/sqrt(1V^2/c^2)
t'=t-(Vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-V^2/c^2)
wher V is the relative speed of B with respect to A |

three laws describing the motion of the planets around the sun
1. the orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the sun at one focus
2. a radial line from the sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time
3. the square of the orbital period of each planet is proportional to the cube of its semimajor axis |
