Yes ,we do still use the theory of relativity as it deals with the relativity of motion and rest. And, it is of great importance for the micro-world like sub-atomic phenomena of nuclear interactions. So the theory of relativity will be always useful.

How can you use the word theory of relativity in a sentence?

Einstein's theory of relativity encompasses two theories: special relativity and general relativity. The theory of relativity is simply referred to as relativity in the field of physics.


In what year did they discover the theory of relativity?

Sir Isaac Newton's theory of gravity was written in 1687, however he did not come up with a theory of relativity. The first person to come up with a theory of relativity was Galileo Galilei, but this theory turned out to be incorrect. In a paper in 1905 Albert Einstein built upon Galileo's ideas and produced the special theory of relativity. This is a very famous paper that turned the physics world on its head. The equivalance of mass and energy in his most famous equation, was deduced as a result of this theory. Furthermore, In 1916 Albert Einstein produced the General theory of relativity, a theory of gravitiation which is an extremely successfulvand famous theory. This is the gravitation theory that we use today, as it is supremely accurate. However, Newtons theory of gravitiation works well for speeds much less than the speed of light in a vacuum, and has the benefit of being much less complex!

What was Albert Einstein famous for what did he do?

Albert Einstein was famous for his theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity. He also made significant contributions to the development of quantum theory and the explanation of the photoelectric effect, earning him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921.


What is one characteristic of galaxies that requires the use of general relativity instead of newtonian theory?

The observed rotation curve of galaxies, which shows that stars orbit the galactic center at higher speeds than predicted by Newtonian gravity, requires the use of general relativity to account for the motion of matter at large scales. This discrepancy is known as the galactic rotation problem.


Do Egyptians still use shadufs today?

Yes, shadufs are still in use today.


What Galaxies that requires the use of general relativity?

Every galaxy. General relativity is the most general theory of gravity we have to date. Newtonian gravity works to describe many things but it falls apart under certain situations.


Is the Bid rent theory still used today?

Yes, the Bid rent theory is still used today as a framework to explain urban land-use patterns and the spatial distribution of different activities within cities. It provides insights into how land values and rents are influenced by proximity to the city center and transportation networks.


Is there any use of theory of relativity in day to day life?

Probably not. That's part of what made the theory so stunning-- it seemed so unconnected to our everyday experience of the world. Another way to say this is that the theory is counter-intuitive.

A well accepted theory in science is einsteins theory of relativity if new evidence is found which contradicted the theory could be rejected?

Yes, any scientific theory can and will be rejected if evidence contradicts it, but it in this case it probably wouldn't be thrown out. After all, we didn't just throw out Newtonian mechanics when Einstein came up with relativity, or even when quantum theory emerged. Why not? Well both relativity and quantum theory contain Newtonian theory as an approximation. In fact, Newtonian theory for many purposes is an extremely good approximation. It is also much simpler to solve practical problems with, and so it is kept rather than just rejected. It is always understood under which circumstances Newton cannot be used, and which it is preferable to use Newton.
