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.
Why no physical body can reach velocity of light?
according to Einsteins special relativity
Does Einsteins Special Relativity make Newtons laws of motion invalid?
no. it just contradicts it. they are both considered true
What was Albert Einsteins major contribution to science?
As well as the oft repeated E=MC2, Einstein also produced advances in the photoelectric effect (for which he received the Nobel prize), Brownian motion, and in relativity both special and general. He was also quite active in cosmology, and predicted gravitational lensing. (Bending of light as it passes a star). He also had theories on special and general relativity.
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.
This theory by Albert Einstein explains why all observers have their own separate measure of time because of the finite speed of light?
The theory 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.
Examples of relativity?
Time Dilation and Length contraction (essentially the same idea, whenconsidering the sameness of time and space as dimensions - which is the crux of special relativity), and specifically the Precession of Mercury (which is predicted by General Relativity) [which forgoes the necessity of a background reference frame (an axis/coordinate system)] are examples of 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.
Are space and time are absolute?
No; the Special Theory of Relativity shows that measurements of space and time can vary, depending on the observer (if two observers move at different velocities). The General Theory of Relativity introduces additional differences that may depend on the observer.
