what is theory of relativity given by Albert einstein?in detail?

Answer 1

In detail? it take years for the aspiring mathematician and physicists to understand..☺

Answer 2

Putting it very simply, Einstein proposed Special Relativity, which was based very simply on the assumption that light would appear to be travelling at the same speed, no matter what speed you yourself would be travelling.

General relativity cannot be explained in less than a large text book.

The principle of relativity has been expanded to mean that the laws of physics should appear the same to all observers, ie, regardless of your velocity or position in the universe, you observe things behaving according the same laws. In other words, there is no preferred reference point, and everything is relative to everything else.

Answer 3

The theory of relativity, or simply relativity, refers specifically to two theories: Albert Einstein's special relativity and general relativity.
The term "relativity" was coined by Max Planck in 1908 to emphasize how special relativity (and later, general relativity) uses the principle of relativity.

Answer 4

Not enough room here to really discuss it in detail. However, the core of it is that Newton thought back in the 17th century that time was a very specific entity and that the time was same all over the Universe. Einstein looked at the problem of light speed being the exact same regardless of how fast the source was traveling toward you or away from you. In the late 19th century this baffled the physicists of that era. Instead of trying to explain it he just accepted it and went from there. This brought him to the conclusion that time changes as speed changes. This means that time is relative to the speed of the observer. This was an incredible change in the outlook of Newton who thought that the Universe was like a giant machine that was grinding along at a very predictable pace, and therefore could be depended on as much as God himself was dependable. Einstein's revelation shocked the very foundation of what humans had depended on as steady and dependable for centuries after Newton. This consistency of the speed of light and not of time lead to his famous equation of E=mc(squared) where c = the speed of light. This equation gave us the incredible relationship between energy and mass. It said they are interchangeable. Mass is frozen energy and small amounts of mass could be converted into huge amounts of energy. This lead to the nuclear weapons that endanger our very existence. But as well, huge amounts of energy could be converted in small amounts of mass which is seen in particle accelorator experiments where we impart great energy into a small subatomic particle and crash it into other, larger particles, which creates even more particles as the energy is converted during the brief encounter of these high speed particle colisions. Then in his second revelation he expressed that gravity was not a force as Newton had discribed it as much as it was the result of the bending of space-time due to the presence of mass/energy in the space-time continuium. This has lead to the current understanding we have of the macrostructure of the Universe. Previous small system dysfunctions under Newton's laws have been finally explained away using Einstein's equations. (The truth be known is that the Einstein equations are so complicated that even with super computers, we still cannot use these equations to calculate the interations of more then two objects in space. If three objects are invloved it is so much easier to use Newton's less precise determinations then it is to truly calculate Einstein's final results. Therefore, when space ventures are sent to Mars, Jupiter and elsewhere we still use Newton's equations. Were we to begin to travel near the speed of light then the Einsein equations would be required to find the answers that the Newtonian equations could not answer correctly.) The problem for modern scientists is that these two systems, the microscopic understanding of small subatomic particles that govern our Universe's whole ultimate makeup (Quantum Machanics), and the macroscopic structure and function of our universe as a system (General Relativeity) do not corrolate. The math is not compatable. Each System works remarkably well on its own. Quantum Mechanics has given us a commanding appreciation of the invisible Universe. All of our current electronic advancements are due to that understanding, so how can you complain about that. General Relativity has explained so much more then we could have ever understood without it and again is the predominant Theory of the workings of the visible Universe as well. The real key is the true nature of gravity. Gravity must be defined as a quantum entity (Quantum Gravity) before we can hope to corrolate these systems. Recent studies in String Theory has offerend some potential for deeper understanding of the nature of the Universe both visible and invisible, and the potential melding of these two currently opposing systems, but it is so advanced, and the mathmatics so new and not fully understood, that it has failed to be proven to be the real key to any of these controversies and is slowly being abandoned as the path to enlightenment in these areas of understanding. I hope this gives you some understanding of the nature of Relativity at the level of a nonphysicist.

Answer 5

Which theory? He developed two of them. And detailing either would take up a whole book (perhaps you should read one).

Answer 6

for every action there is a equal or GREATER reaction.
