Relativity topics include: Einstein’s special theory on relativity, lorentz transformation equations, mass energy relation and mass variation with velocity. Relativity is a theory that states that space and time are relative concepts, not absolute. It also states that all motion must be defined relative to a frame of reference. Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is made up of two interrelated theories: special relativity and general relativity. Special relativity applies to physical phenomena without gravity. General relativity, also known as Einstein's theory of gravity, is the... Show more
