Quick can someone explain the theory of relativity to me?
In a few words, special relativity holds on two principles:
- Physics is the same whatever reference frame you choose. This makes time no more special that space to say it crudely.
- The speed of light in the vacuum is universal and does not care about directions, motion, etc.
The rest (which is not quick to explain) follows ^^
I love it when you comment on my posts! I know I will always learn something and you are always very kind to us novices. I was hoping you'd catch that little ;) at the end there. I knew if you did, you'd have a great answer that would also make me grin. Thanks!!!!
