Foundations is a series of articles, first published in the magazine Eidolon,
on some of the theories of twentieth-century physics that have most
influenced modern science fiction. However, these are not essays on the
history or philosophy of science; their aim is to show how the central
idea of each theory leads to detailed, quantitative predictions of real
physical effects. For example, the article on special relativity
derives formulas for time dilation, Doppler shift, and aberration.

These articles are for the interested lay reader. No prior knowledge
of mathematics beyond high school algebra and geometry is needed.
