Relativity

Relativity is a branch of modern science that has two parts: special relativity and general relativity. Both were formed by Albert Einstein.

Special Relativity

Special relativity deals with spacetime and its behavior. Some of its statements are: objects moving at higher speeds experience slower time. Also, light, or c, is the highest speed any object can achieve. Objects moving at c would then move to their destination in no time, since time slows down to a stop.

Special relativity also deals with the equivalence of mass and energy, with the famous equation .
