    General Theory of Relativity

    General Relativity theory, developed by Einstein in 1907-1915, states that being at rest in the gravitational field and accelerating are identical physically. For example, an observer can see the ball fall the same way on the rocket and on Earth. This is due to the rocket’s acceleration, which equals 9.8 m/s2. This theory relates to…

    Special Theory of Relativity

    Einstein first introduced this term in the year 1905. It is a theorem that deals with the structure of space-time. Einstein explained this theory based on two postulates – This is the theory which laid the foundation of time travel. According to Einstein, the rate at which time tics decreases with the increase of the…

    Introduction to Relativity

    Relativity is a theorem formulated by Albert Einstein, which states that space and time are relative, and all motion must be relative to a frame of reference. It is a notion that states’ laws of physics are the same everywhere. This theory is simple but hard to understand. It states: Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity…
