Please answer the following questions related to the topic of Special Relativity. Provide thorough explanations for each of your answers where applicable.
What is the postulate of relativity proposed by Albert Einstein regarding the laws of physics?
Your answer should include an explanation of how these laws apply to all observers, regardless of their relative motion.
Describe the concept of time dilation in the context of special relativity.
In your response, outline how time is affected for an observer moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light compared to a stationary observer.
Explain the phenomenon of length contraction as outlined in the theory of special relativity.
Discuss how this effect can be observed in objects moving at relativistic speeds and how it relates to the reference frame of the observer.
What is the significance of the speed of light in a vacuum according to special relativity?
Include in your answer how this speed acts as a universal constant and its implications in terms of causality and information transfer.
In the context of special relativity, what is the mass-energy equivalence formula?
Provide the formula and explain its meaning, including how it relates to the concepts of mass and energy.
