Concepts In Relativity
The theory of relativity transformed theoretical physics and astronomy during the 20th century. When first published, relativity superseded a 200-year-old theory of mechanics stated by Isaac Newton. The theory of relativity overturned the concept of motion from Newton’s day, by positing that all motion is relative. Time was no longer uniform and absolute. Physics could no longer be understood as s...
