I think you should learn how to clarify yourself before you tackle the Theory of Relativity (General or Special).
It will boggle your mind. Just like how the paragraph under your question has boggled mine.

There is no absolute reference frame. The reference frame depends upon the observer.
There are laws that apply regardless of the reference frame. In other words, laws that apply within a given reference frame also apply to all other reference frames.
There are laws that relate observations from one reference frame to another.
Mattvayne's reply made me laugh out loud.
Edit: I think everyone just assumed the question dealt with Physics instead of Psychics. The question appeared to be written in an extinct language, but I think he was asking about 'relativity' in more general terms than just physics.

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.
Special relativity
Main article: Special relativity
Albert Einstein's 1905 paper "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" introduced the special theory of relativity. Special relativity considers that observers in inertial reference frames, which are in uniform motion relative to one another, cannot perform any experiment to determine which one of them is "stationary". This is actually Galileo's principle of relativity; Einstein's contribution was to explicitly include electromagnetism within this principle, which required that the Galilean transformations be replaced by the Lorentz transformations. The resultant theory has many surprising consequences. In particular, it requires that the speed of light in a vacuum be the same for all these observers, regardless of their motion, or the motion of the source of the light, since the invariance of the speed of light is a consequence of Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism
General relativity
Main article: General relativity
General relativity was developed by Einstein in the years 1907 - 1915. General relativity replaces the global Lorentz symmetry of special relativity with a local Lorentz symmetry in the presence of matter. The presence of matter "curves" spacetime, and this curvature affects the path of free particles (and even the path of light). General relativity uses the mathematics of differential geometry and tensors in order to describe gravitation as an effect of the geometry of spacetime. This theory is based on the general principle of relativity, which requires all observers to experience the same laws of physics, not just those moving with uniform speed, hence its name.

the theory of relativity has nothing to do with your paragraph below it. Your trying to say that your paragraph below was not relative in nature to what you were askin, i AGREE AND couldnt help but wonder what your asking.
before taking on the theory of relativity you might want to re read what you wrote and then ask another question.
start over man, try again.

there is no relativity between you Q and explaination
in future we may invent
