If you and I stand at Cape Canaveral and set our clocks to coincide, and then you

pick up your clock, climb into your dazzling multicolored starship and take off, leaving

the launch-pad at close to the speed of light,

-- and then I keep watching your clock through my telescope,

and you keep watching my clock through your telescope,

-- I'll see that compared to my clock, yours is running slow.

-- You'll see that compared to your clock, mine is running slow.

We'll both be right.

I know. It's impossible. It can't be. But it is. It's been demonstrated and measured

thousands of times over the last 70 years, in laboratories all over the world.

When was einsteins theory of relativity published?

The theory of relativity is actually a conglomerate of two theories which Einstein theorized at different times. Special relativity was published in 1905 and changed the scientific world until some of the ideas could not hold up to scrutiny. It was then that Einstein published the theory of general relativity in 1916.

Again I ask why was Einsteins Relativity Theory at odds with Quantum Physics?

Einstein's Relativity is at odds with quantum physics because they both work at different levels and under different conditions.
