Fakta

Relativity is one of the most profound and influential theories in modern physics, fundamentally altering our understanding of space, time, and gravity. Developed by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century, the theory of relativity consists of two main parts: special relativity and general relativity. Special relativity, formulated in 1905, addresses the behavior of objects moving at constant velocity in the absence of gravitational fields, while general relativity, introduced in 1915, extends the principles of special relativity to include the effects of gravity, describing it as a consequence of the curvature of space-time. Together, these theories provide a unified framework for understanding the large-scale structure of the universe, the motion of celestial bodies, and the nature of gravity itself.

The foundation of special relativity rests on two key postulates: (1) the laws of physics are the same in all inertial reference frames, and (2) the speed of light in a vacuum is constant for all observers, regardless of their relative motion. These postulates lead to several counterintuitive but experimentally verified consequences, such as time dilation, length contraction, and the relativity of simultaneity. Time dilation implies that a moving clock runs slower relative to a stationary observer, while length contraction means that an object moving at high velocity appears shorter along the direction of motion. The relativity of simultaneity states that two events that are simultaneous in one reference frame may not be simultaneous in another frame moving relative to the first. These effects become significant at velocities approaching the speed of light, where classical mechanics fails to provide accurate predictions.
