What is the theory of relativity?

riotgrrl

"Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is a set of two theories in physics: special relativity and general relativity. The core idea of both theories is that two observers who move relative to each other will often measure different 'time' and 'space' intervals for the same events, but the content of physical law will be the same for both." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity In other words, perception of space and time is dependent on their rate of movement. However, it is possible to allow for this in modern scientific theories. Mar 22 04, 12:07 PM
