Article on Special Relativity Theory
Science is the religion of all- Albert Einstein
An introduction to the Special Theory of Relativity
The theory of relativity of time was proposed in the year 1905 by the greatest 20thcentury physicist, Albert Einstein at the age of 25. It placed him among the giants of human thoughts-Copernicus, Newton and others.
In this article, I wish to explain some of the details about the relativity theory. I have a very little knowledge about this topic. Even then, in order to fulfill the request of my friend, Sri. M.Venkatesan, DSM, Srivaikuntam I propose to explain the tip of the iceberg, with the aid of some books on the subject which I have gone through.
If this article is able to make you curious to go further on this subject, I think this work has served the purpose.
Science makes our life very simple. All the inventions are used by us in our day to day life. To mention a few, mobile phones, computers, and vehicles.
This world has created many great scientists and inventors. Even though every invention is useful in one way or the other, some of them are superior to the others, in the sense that without them nothing is possible today. In my opinion, the best inventions are wheel, electricity and computers.
Many scientists proposed scientific concepts, theories etc. They explain the cause for the happenings around us. Some of the theories are very vital, as they have the effect of making the belief of that time upside down. Let us consider few such examples.
` It was believed that the shape of the earth was flat. Subsequently, it was established that the shape is almost spherical.
