2. Using the Michelson-Morley experiment as an example, explain why classical mechanics was unable to explain natural phenomena.

3. Using at least one of Einstein's "thought-experiments", explain how special relativity addresses how it is possible for observers in two different inertial reference frames to “disagree” about time and distance intervals.
