Either of two theories (special relativity or general relativity) developed by German-American physicist Albert Einstein. Also called Einsteinian relativity
A theory formulated by Einstein that describes the relations between measurements of physical phenomena by two different observers who are in relative motion at constant velocity (the special theory of relativity) or that describes how a gravitational field can be replaced by a curvature of space-time (the general theory of relativity)
The theory of relativity is Einstein's theory concerning space, time, and motion. the relationship in physics between time, space, and movement according to Einstein's theory. Concept in physics that measurements change when considered by observers in various states of motion. In classical physics, it was assumed that all observers anywhere in the universe would obtain identical measurements of space and time intervals. According to relativity theory, this is not so; all measurements depend on the relative motions of the observer and the observed. There are two distinct theories of relativity, both proposed by Albert Einstein. The special theory of relativity (1905) developed from Einstein's acceptance that the speed of light is the same in all reference frames, irrespective of their relative motion. It deals with non-accelerating reference frames, and is concerned primarily with electric and magnetic phenomena and their propagation in space and time. The general theory (1916) was developed primarily to deal with gravitation and involves accelerating reference frames. Both theories are major milestones in the history of modern physics. See also equivalence principle, space-time
the special theory of relativity is a modern physical theory due to Einstein, giving an account in which neither space nor time has an independent absolute value or existence but is each relative to the other Thus the classical view of space and time is replaced with one in which the two are aspects of the same underlying reality: Space-time The general theory of relativity extended the special (from considering frameworks in uniform relative motion to considering frameworks in arbitrary relative motion to one another) and is the currently accepted basis for our theory of gravitation
{i} (Physics) theory of relativity as developed by Albert Einstein, theory that time and space are relative concepts and that motion must be defined in relation to a point of reference
principle that postulates the equivalence of the description of the Universe, in terms of physical laws, by observers in their respective frames of reference, whether in uniform or nonuniform motion relative to each other
A principle that postulates the equivalence of the description of the universe, in terms of physical laws, by various observers, or for various frames of reference See relativistic mass equation, mass-energy equivalence
"the theory of the relative rather than absolute character of motion and mass, and the interdependence of matter, time, and space, as developed by physicist Albert Einstein "
(physics) the theory that space and time are relative concepts rather than absolute concepts
the principle (due to Galileo) that the laws of physics should be the same for all observers in uniform motion
Einstein's general theory of relativity was his theory of gravitational force His special theory of relativity was his theory of the electrodynamics of moving systems
either of the two principles of special relativity or general relativity (Albert Einstein)
A theory to the structure of space and time, and its relation to gravity and motion This theory was first introduced by Albert Einstein in 1905
In physics, the problem of how physical laws and measurements change when considered by observers in various states of motion So you see, relativity is concerned with measurements made by different observers moving relative to one another Also, simply the state of depending for existence on, or having nature, value, or quality in relation to something else (For example, you are a child relative to your parents and a student relative to your teachers etc )
