Relative Theory :

So, all of you know the most famous work of Albert Einstein?
E=MC^2.
Energy = Mass multiplied by square of speed of light.

But that isn't the only famous work of Einstein.
He also gave the Theory of Relativity.



The Theory of Relativity :

The Theory of Relativity has basically two theories : 1) Special Relativity and 2) General Relativity.
Main points :
Measurements of various quantities are relative to the velocities of observers.In particular, space and time can dilate.Spacetime : Space and time should be considered together and in relation to eachother.Speed of light is invariant, the same for all observers.

The theory of relativity was representative of more than a single new physical theory. Special relativity applies to elementary particles and their interactions, whereas general relativity applies to cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy.Special Relativity was accepted and used as a necessary tool for theorists in the new fields of atomic physics, nuclear physics and quantum mechanics.
