Special & General Relativity Explained 1/4
On the Scientific Theories of Special and General Relativity At the beginning of the twentieth century, Albert Einstein revolutionized the way scientists think about space and time. In his special theory of relativity, Einstein showed that time and length are not as absolute as everyday experience would suggest: Moving clocks run slower, and moving objects are shorter. Those are just two of the unusual properties of Einstein's world! Another consequence of special relativity is the most ...

E=mc2 Time and Relativity special theory of relativity 2
Einstein showed, mathematically, that space and time are related and perceived differently by different observers. One consequence of special relativity is time dilation, which means that time in a moving reference frame passes more slowly than time in a stationary reference frame. In other words, a clock that is moving with respect to a stationary observer is perceived by the observer to run more slowly than a stationary clock. Another consequence is length contraction—the observed decrease ...

General Relativity
General relativity or the general theory of relativity is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915/16. It unifies special relativity and Newton's law of universal gravitation, resulting in a description of gravity as a property of the geometry of space and time. In particular, the curvature of spacetime is directly related to the four-momentum (mass-energy and linear momentum) of whatever matter and radiation are present. The relation is specified by the ...
