THEORY OF RELATIVITY
1. Theory of Relativity
The Theory of Relativity is a scientific theory developed by Albert Einstein in the early twentieth century. It transformed our understanding of space, time, matter, energy, and gravity. The theory consists of two parts: Special Relativity (1905) and General Relativity (1915). Special Relativity explains the behavior of objects moving at high speeds, while General Relativity explains gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. The theory introduced revolutionary concepts such as time dilation, length contraction, and mass-energy equivalence. Today, rel
