A very simple definition of special relativity would be: 1. Nothing travels faster than light. 2. Light is always measured at the same speed (roughly 186,000 mph) no matter how fast you are traveling or the direction you are going. 3. The faster you travel, the slower time moves, the heavier you get and longer things become shorter. However, the hardest part to grasp is the fact that as you move, nothing to you is different. Your clock will still tick away at the same rate. An observer, however, would notice your clock running slower. You would notice the observer's clock runining slower while they would be seeing things perfectly normal It's all relative to the observer. General relativity incorporates gravity into the equation and shows how gravity effects time, bends light and thus effects time. A clock for intance on the ground next to the Empire State Building will run faster than a clock on the top of the building because the pull of the earth causes clocks to run slightly slower then a clock that is further away from the center of the planet.
Speed of light is constant, not the other things.
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.
For the Special Theory of Relativity, the basic postulates are:The relativity principle, i.e., laws of nature are the same for observers in different reference frames.The speed of light is the same for different observers.
Einstein's Relativity is at odds with quantum physics because they both work at different levels and under different conditions.
Einstein's Relativity Theory is at odds with quantum physics because Einstein's theory works at a macroscopic level, while quantum physics works at an atomic level, and things at the atomic level work differently from the macroscopic level.

He made Einsteins theory of relativity "Beautifull". He proved Einsteins original and not his revised theory of relativity was indeed correct. But most of all, he is an amaising person!

the theory of relativity & quantum mechanics.
yes
Without Zero it would be impossible to measure anything.
it is a example of a law that can't be proven by science
I think the question must be the other way round!
