HI! I'm Jaira. Today I'll be giving you some heads up about Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity.
The theory of special relativity illustrates how space and time are correlated to objects that travel in a straight line at a consistent speed. Perhaps one of the most popular elements includes objects that travel at the speed of light.
Merely stated, the mass becomes infinite as an object reaches the speed of light and it is unable to move much further than light moves. When people seem to think about how to travel through large distances, this interstellar speed limit has been a topic of much debate in physics, including in science fiction.
In 1905, Albert Einstein founded the theory of special relativity, and it appears to be part of the foundations of modern physics. Einstein spent over a decade debating what else would happen if one applied acceleration after completing his work in special relativity. This provided the basis, published in 1915, of his general relativity.
Special relativity applies to "special" cases -it's mostly used when discussing huge energies, ultra-fast speeds and astronomical distances, all without the complications of gravity.
