On this website the viewer will g et a general overview of the theory of relativity. Einstein's theory is all around us and the theory of relativity is a good thing to know. To put the theory of relativity in the simpliest terms it shows that everything has an effect on everything else.Einstein is famous for two different types of theories he made up around the theory, which are General relativity and Special theory of relatvitiy. General relativity is a theory of gravitation. Einstein produced the theory in 1905.The theory of relativity was revolutionary because it showed how the speed at which time happens is mutable; that space and time are not discrete entities: time and space and motion collapse into a fourth dimension, in which all act on each other. (Aida Edemariam).The Theory of relativity was one of einsteins most famous theories. He believed that time, mass, and length were not deffinite abosolutes. Instead it all depened on whom was observing it. An example to help understand the theory is imagine your on a airplane. As you sit there in your seat do you feel like you are moving over the ground below you? When you walk around the plane you feel the same as if you were walking on the ground. This all has to do with the theory of relativity. Another example is if you take a set of twins. Twin number one stays on earth and lives a normal life, while twin number two goes in a fast spaceship into space for 15 years. When you both meet up again 15 years later twin number two will be younger then twin number one. Relativity is all around us. It happens all around us.

This website gives you a nice over view of relativity. It puts it in simpilar terms so it is easy to understand and to continue with your research. This website really helped me to understand and get a overview of relativity. This website is very credible.

This website has a lot of information. It give me background of the theory. While it also gives me a little bit of information behind einstein. this is a good webiste to use
