http://library.thinkquest.org/06aug/02 **Einstein's Theory of Relativity**  Albert Einstein first proposed his theory of relativity in 1905, and in 1915 his general theory of relativity was made public (Arora). Einstein said no matter what physical product was used, absolute motion at a constant velocity was undetectable (Arora).    According to Einstein, two people observing the same event in the same way could perceive the singular event occurring at two different times, depending upon their distance from the event in question (Arora). These types of differences arise from the time it takes for light to travel through space. Einstein proposed that time is dependent on space with his theory of relativity. Einstein's theory of relativity was generally accepted in our society by providing us with the fourth dimension, proposing matter causes space to curve, and impacting our daily lives   <span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Einstein's theory of relativity provided us with the fourth dimension. He stated that it is important to recognize that any human attempt beyond its immediate perception is inherently flawed because the mental capacity is three dimensions (Time). However, time, like space, is a dimension in itself, and objects can transverse it in a similar way as they do through the third dimension. Relativity has shown us that it // is // possible to change our perception of time based on distance, gravitational dilation, or speed, but the direction of time has remained constant and singular (Time). <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">  <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">            <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">   <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana; border-collapse: separate;">    http://library.thinkquest.org/06aug/02 <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">  <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">  An important aspect of Einstein's theory if that he proposed that matter cause space to curve. If space was a two-dimensional sheet then a ball would cause the sheet to curve. This occurs because of gravity (Time). Smaller objects are attracted to larger objects because the roll towards the curve where the larger object sits. In relation to time, this curvature causes the gravitational time dilation effect (Time). Under normal circumstances, this effect is impossible to observe. However, in the presence of the extremes of our universe, such as black holes, where a huge amount of matter is compressed in to an extremely small volume, this effect becomes much more obvious (Time). To a distant observer, an object falling into a black hole would appear to never reach it, due to time dilation causing time to progress extremely slower, at least relative to the distant observer the object in question, however, would very rapidly be destroyed by the black hole (Time). <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana; border-collapse: separate;"> http://library.thinkquest.org/06aug/02            <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">   <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">  <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">The great majority influence Einstein is credited with is due to the implications of relativity as a concept beyond science. While Einstein’s work did create new branches of study in physics and revolutionize astronomy, the impact on daily life, philosophy, and society are much more important (Arora). The applications of nuclear energy production and synchronization of GPS around the Earth indicates and effect of relativity on our daily lives (Arora). Einstein’s theories of relativity have not only affected our daily lives in such basic ways as how we heat our homes, reach our destinations, and measure our days (Arora). His theories of relativity were used by philosophers, politicians, and activists to turn moral philosophy upside-down (Arora). <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">  <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">

Einstein was a very intelligent man. His theory of relativity has discovered the fourth dimension, proposed that matter causes space to curve, and influenced our daily lives weather we realize it or not. The discovery of the fourth dimension has changed our perception of time based on distance, gravitational dilation, or speed, but the direction of time has remained constant and singular. It has told us that time is a dimension itself just like space thud, the space-time continuum was created. He proposed that matter curves space. When smaller objects rolls towards where larger objects sit, the curvature becomes very large. This curvature causes the gravitational time dilation effect. In the presence of extremes this effect becomes much more obvious. Many people do not notice how much Einstein has affected our lives. He has created new branches of physics and revolutionize astronomy. His theory is applied in nuclear energy production, synchronization of GPS, heating systems, reaching our destinations, and measures our days. Einstein's theory of relativity is a very important application in the world. Every since 1905 when he proposed his theory, people all around the world have been influenced everyday. Einstein was a genius no only for his theory of relativity but mainly for creating the world we live in today. **Basic Overview of Einstein's Theory of Relativity** media type="google" key="6322511432077219124&hl=en&fs=true" width="400" height="326" http://library.thinkquest.org/06aug/02 **<span style="font-size: 150%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">The Elegant Universe - Einstein's Relativity ** media type="youtube" key="tpbGuuGosAY" height="344" width="425" <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 8px; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpbGu uGosAY&feature=related
