  1. relativity theory

    Relativity theory refers to two major theories of physics given by Albert Einstein - special relativity and general relativity. Special relativity, proposed in 1905, asserts that physical laws are the same in all inertial frames and that the speed of light is the same for all observers, regardless of their motion or the motion of the source of light. General relativity, proposed in 1915, extends special relativity to include gravity, describing gravity not as a force but as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. Both theories have been extensively confirmed by experiment and observation and are key foundations of modern physics.
