What is the difference of Einstein's special theory of relativity to newton's?

Einstein's special theory of relativity considers the rate of passage of time as variable since it explains motions of bodies at velocities closer to that of light; whereas Newton's laws of motion basically deal with practically attainable velocities therefore the rate of passage of time is treated to be constant.

What are einsteins postulates of relativity?
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.
What were Einsteins contributions?
The related link Wikipedia article lists some. Probably his most famous are his theories of Special Relativity and General Relativity. He laid the groundwork for quantum mechanics and other modern physics concepts.Special Relativity, General Relativity and the beginnings of Quantum Mechanics.
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.
What is the difference between quantum and relativity?
Relativity has two parts: General relativity and special relativity, general relativity describes gravity as a geometric property of spacetime and special relativity is the physical theory of measurement in inertial frames of reference. Now quantum mechanics, in it's wave formulation, deals with describing things on the atomic scale as a wavefunction.
Special theory of relativity predictions?
what are the major predictions of the special theory of relativity
Does Einsteins Special Relativity make Newtons laws of motion invalid?
no. it just contradicts it. they are both considered true
Why no physical body can reach velocity of light?
according to Einsteins special relativity
Who said newtons three laws are false according to space?
They're not false exactly, but become inaccurate and break down at high velocities (of the order of the speed of light). Einsteins theory of special relativity prooves this.

What is the difference between E equals mc2 and special relativity?
E=mc^2 is born because of special relativity.

Is there anything called Gravitational Push?
yes. there is no such thing as the gravitational pull however. look up Einsteins theory of special relativity. the bend of space is what gravity really is.
Einsteins all theories in all subjects?
if you're wanting someone to explain them, its gonna take a lot of research. this isn't gonna get you much. sorry. i wish i could name them for you but i cant. all i know is the theory of relativity and the theory of special relativity.
Albert Einstein What was one special event that was a highlight in his life once famous?
One special event that was a highlight in Albert Einsteins' life was when a solar eclipse let British astronomers confirm the general theory of relativity.
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.
