I think you mean
"Who is known for the theory of relativity, newton or einstein?"

If my translation of your question is correct, it would be einstein.

newton is known for the laws of motion.

Einstein

In 1905, Albert Einstein proposed his Theory of Relativity, based on studying Isaac Newton's Law of Gravitation.

Newton developed Newtonian Physics which describes gravity as a force between objects (shown as wrong by Einstein and through observations). Albert Einstein developed General and Special Relativity which descibes gravity as the curving of space-time caused by objects (shown as correct through observation though some anomalies exist).

However, neither of these theories actually explain what causes gravity, just the effect. In fact, one of the biggest mysteries around is just this question: what causes gravity?

Although Einstein is credited for the theories of Special and General Relativity, he was certainly not the first to think of it. Galileo actually proposed a relativity of his own back in the 1500s.

Albert Einstein.

Without the math the Theory of Relativity says that all movement is relative. You are sitting at your computer and hardly moving, but the earth is rotating, and it is spinning around the sun, which is spinning around the center of our galaxy, which is traveling through the Universe.

The second part is that as you move faster you distort the space-time continuum. As you go faster time slows and your dimension (along the axis of travel) decreases, also your weight increases. Listen to a train whistle as it approaches. The sound waves are compressed (decreased dimension along the axis of travel). When the train passes you, you hear a change in pitch. Astronomers have proven the time aspect on airplanes with atomic clocks and on the Shuttle.

The most interesting aspect of the Theory of Relativity is what happens as you approach the speed of light. The speed of light is considered infinite to the physical university. As you get closer to the speed of light your dimension, along the axis of travel, shrinks, your mass increases, and the passing of time slows. If you reached the speed of light then you will have a dimension of zero, your weight will be infinite, and time will stop. Only a photon can reach the speed of light, and it is an odd particle that can behave as a wave.

The mathematic proof works, but you need to know complex calculus, to understand it, and it requires a minimum of 11 dimensions. The theory produces the simple equation of E = mc*c or Energy = mass times the speed of light squared. This is the principle on which the atomic bomb works. All that energy from the blast is created when a tiny bit of mass is converted to energy. This formula also produces the idea of conservation of mass and energy. You cannot create or destroy mass, but you can convert mass to energy or energy to mass. When you make a machine you are not creating energy you are turning one form of energy into another (burning gas creates and explosion which moves the piston, which turns the crankshaft, which turns the drive shaft and tires; so you car goes).

Actually his name is spelled Newton but anyways, Albert Einstein developed the theory of relativity.

Newton discovered the laws of motion but at the time of Einstein had been discovered the speed of light. laws of Newton did not hlde true at the speed of light .Einstein improved laws of Newton.

It was Einstein's theory. Was that your question? It wasn't Newtons.

Theory of relativity was given by Einstein.
I'll explain you by simple Eg.
Consider you are sitting in a train and train is steady ok.
Now on the other platform another train arrives,but you seem that ur train is moving.But actually ur train is steady.
It indicates that what you see is actually predictable,reality is quiet
different.
thank you.
