Mr. Einstein

What is Einstein's special theory of relativity? What is Einstein's general theory of relativity? What gravity waves?

Einstein’s special theory of relativity deals with the speed of light. There are three rules in special theory of relativity.
.           1. The speed of light is the maximum speed in the universe.

2. There is no way to find preferred observer, therefore there is no way who is moving and who is not.

3. Both space and time are dependent of each other; there is no absolute and universal time because everything is relative to one another.

 In 1916 Einstein expanded his Special Theory to include the effect of gravitation on the shape of space and the flow of time. This theory is referred as the General Theory of Relativity. The basic concept of the general theory of relativity is all matter tends to wrap or curve space in its vicinity. The greater the mass the greater is the wrapping.

 A gravity wave is the gravitational counterpart of an electromagnetic wave.
