Special relativity Events that occur at the same time for one observer could occur at different times for another. The theory is special in that it only applies in the special case where the curvature of spacetime due to gravity is negligible. In order to include gravity, Einstein formulated general relativity in 1915.

Albert Einstein's theory of relativity has stood the test of time and a recent study by an international team of astronomers and 7,000 light years of space have once again proved he's been right all along.

Physics: Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity Simplifying the Metaphysics of Einstein's Special and  General Relativity Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity (1905,1915). The special theory, on which the general theory rests, applies to all physical phenomena with the exception of gravitation; the general theory provides the law of gravitation and its relation to the other forces of nature.

- There have been many theories of relativity throughout history, from the astronomical speculations of Heraclides to the geometry of Euclid to the classical theory of space, time, and dynamics developed by Galileo, Newton and others. Each of these was based on one or more principle of relativity. However, when we refer to the theory of relativity today, we usually mean one particular theory of relativity, namely, the body of ideas developed near the beginning of the 20th century and closely identified with the work of Albert Einstein.

Theory of relativity Theory of relativity. The theory of relativity was developed by Albert Einstein in the early 1900s. There are two theories of relativity. The first is special relativity and the second is general relativity. The theory aims to solve problems which could not be solved by classical physics, or by 19th century physics.

Albert Einstein Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921.

Einstein's Theory of General Relativity Events that occur at the same time for one observer could occur at different times for another. As he worked out the equations for his general theory of relativity, Einstein realized that massive objects caused a distortion in space-time.

- EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955), German-born American physicist and Nobel laureate, best known as the creator of the special and general theories of relativity and for his bold hypothesis concerning the particle nature of light. He is perhaps the most well-known scientist of the 20th century.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Einstein's Theory of Relativity changed the way we think about space and time. General Relativity says that large objects cause space to bend in the same way that putting a tennis ball on a thin sheet would cause the sheet to bend. The larger the object, the more space bends.

Albert Einstein - spacetime relativity theory Albert Einstein's relativity universe explanation even he considered to be at least incomplete. Support for it largely come from astronomers and maybe helped take physics back to an early-Kepler mathematical-imagination physics scenario that still prevails. Einstein physics now is perhaps chiefly supported by astronomers and 'cosmologists'.

Special relativity Eventually, Einstein (1905) drew the conclusion that the concepts of space and time needed a fundamental revision. The result was special relativity theory. This is based on the constancy of the speed of light in all inertial frames of reference and the principle of relativity. inertial frame of reference: a frame of reference that describes time and space homogeneously, isotropically, and in a time-independent manner.

Einstein's Nobel Prize We think special relativity on its own deserved the Nobel prize, but most of the nominations of Einstein by leading physicists cited both special and general relativity, so the uncertainties over GR confused the case.

Special relativity Einstein's special theory of relativity (special relativity) is all about what's relative and what's absolute about time, space, and motion. Some of Einstein's conclusions are rather surprising. They are nonetheless correct, as numerous physics experiments have shown.

Translations for theory of relativity Theory of relativity. The theory of relativity, or simply relativity, generally encompasses two theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity. Concepts introduced by the theories of relativity include: ⁕Measurements of various quantities are relative to the velocities of observers.

Theory of relativity 1 Special Relativity was developed by Hendrik Lorentz, Henri Poincaré, and Hermann Minkowski, and Albert Einstein.  General Relativity (GR) is a theory which explains the laws of motion as viewed from accelerating reference frames and includes a geometric explanation for gravity. This theory was developed by David Hilbert and Albert Einstein as a generalization of the postulates of Special Relativity. A dramatic but later discredited claim by Sir Arthur Eddington of experimental proof of General Relativity in 1919 made Einstein a household name.

Putting Relativity to the Test To test both kinds of time dilation, as the phenomenon is known, physicist J. C. Hafele of Washington University in St. Louis and astronomer Richard Keating of the U.S. Naval Observatory devised a cleverly simple test in 1971.ith general relativity, Einstein took SR and added gravity—in essence, he took the concept of spacetime and added curvature to it. The gravity we feel on Earth, Einstein says, is nothing more than the curvature of spacetime caused by our planet's mass.
