Introduction
The theory of relativity, developed by Albert Einstein, revolutionized the understanding of space, time, and energy. It consists of two parts: special relativity and general relativity.
Special Relativity
Introduced in 1905, it explores the physics of moving bodies at speeds close to the speed of light and includes the iconic equation:
E = mc²
This equation relates energy (E) to mass (m) with c representing the speed of light in a vacuum.
General Relativity
Published in 1915, this theory provides insight into the gravitational force as a curvature of spacetime. Gravity is no longer seen merely as a force but as a geometric property of space and time.
