What is the mathematical difference between special and general theory of relativity?
The simple answer is that Special Relativity can be described with simple algebraic processes. General Relativity involves much more complex mathematics, including tensor calculus, for its mathematical description.
Can you explain in simple terms the general and special theories of relativity?
Unfortunately, no -- because these aspects of our Universe are NOT simple. An apocryphal story has Einstein being asked to explain relativity in one simple sentence. His reply was that he couldn't explain relativity in less than three days, and that, unless one had an understanding of advanced mathematics, none of it would make any sense!
Is Albert Einsteins married?
yes simple as that dosent matter if dead or alive.
When was Simple Explanation created?
Simple Explanation was created on 2009-04-06.
What made Einstein make the theory e equals mc2?
Albert Einstein is widely credited for deriving this equation from his own theory of special relativity in 1905.
When did Einstein prove the theory of Relativity?
In November of 1919, at the age of 40, Albert Einstein became an overnight celebrity, thanks to a solar eclipse. An experiment had confirmed that light rays from distant stars were deflected by the gravity of the sun in just the amount he had predicted in his 1916 paper on his theory of gravity, general relativity. General relativity was the first major new theory of gravity since Isaac Newton's more than 250 years earlier.It has never been proven, and it never will be. However, there is a vast amount of evidence consistent with it, and so far nothing has contradicted it either. Einstein didn't prove the theory -- he just created it.The above paragraph is not entirely correct. There is the Gravity Probe B experiment which should provide some conclusive results regarding proving the theory in the near future. See the following links for more information:http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/gpb/index.htmlhttp://einstein.stanford.edu/highlights/status1.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_Probe_BThe atomic clock has proven his time dialation to be correct.
Can you explain the theory of relativity in simple terms?
Try reading the book Spacetime Physics, by Taylor & Wheeler, published in 1965 and still in print. I read it when I was in High School and found it very understandable. It uses lots of geometry to explain things and avoids calculus. See if your local library has it or can get it for you from another library that does.Even a simple explanation of relativity is too long for this site without introducing distortions and misunderstandings that require even more questions and answers to resolve.
