The Theory of Relativity is a scientific theory first proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905. He used the laws of physics to show that space and time are relative, rather than absolute. It revolutionized the way scientists understand the universe and the forces of nature. The Theory of Relativity is based on two main postulates: the Principle of Relativity states that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, regardless of their relative motion; and the equivalence of mass and energy, which was expressed by Einstein’s famous equation, E=mc2. The theory has since been tested and verified in countless experiments, for example inthe bending of light around a massive object such as a black hole. The theory has had an immense impact on modern physics and its application in various fields, ranging from quantum theory to cosmology.
