In what year did they discover the theory of relativity?

Answer 1

Sir Isaac newton's theory of gravity was written in 1687, however he did not come up with a theory of relativity. The first person to come up with a theory of relativity was Galileo Galilei, but this theory turned out to be incorrect. In a paper in 1905 Albert Einstein built upon Galileo's ideas and produced the special theory of relativity. This is a very famous paper that turned the physics world on its head. The equivalance of mass and energy in his most famous equation, was deduced as a result of this theory. Furthermore, In 1916 Albert Einstein produced the General theory of relativity, a theory of gravitiation which is an extremely successfulvand famous theory. This is the gravitation theory that we use today, as it is supremely accurate. However, Newtons theory of gravitiation works well for speeds much less than the speed of light in a vacuum, and has the benefit of being much less complex!

Answer 2

There was two kinds of theory of relativity, the special relativity was published in 1905, and the final form of the general relativity was published in 1916.

Answer 3

Isaac newton did come up with the theory of relativity

Answer 4

No, Albert Einstein did.
