Could someone explain Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" to me without using links?

Special Relativity makes to postulates:

1. All physical laws are the same in every inertial frame of reference.

2. The speed of light is the same in every inertial frame of reference

This created a problem because if true it means that all objects and particles are limited by the speed of light therefore all forces and interactions must also travel at or below the speed of light. The problem this created was according to Newton, gravity acts instantaneously -and therefore could act faster than the speed of light.

To get around this contradiction of Newton Einstein proposed that that gravity is simply a consequence of space-time curvature - it does not really act at all so no problem with acting faster than the speed of light.

i'm awestruck at what share human beings nevertheless in 2008 say "it is in simple terms a theory" Stephen Jay Gould explains it this way: "properly, evolution is a theory. it is likewise a certainty. And data and theories are truly some issues, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing fact. data are the international's information. Theories are structures of innovations that specify and interpret data. data do not bypass away whilst scientists debate rival theories to describe them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's, yet apples did not droop themselves in mid-air, pending the tip result. And human beings more suitable from apelike ancestors no count if or not they did so with the aid of Darwin's proposed mechanism or with the aid of another, yet to be stumbled on" apart from, "certainty" does not recommend "absolute fact." the suitable proofs of excellent judgment and arithmetic flow deductively from suggested premises and attain fact in simple terms because of the fact they don't seem to be concerning the empirical international. Evolutionists make no declare for perpetual certainty, however creationists in many cases do (and then attack us for a type of argument that they themselves desire). In technological understanding, "certainty" can in simple terms mean "shown to this type of degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent."

I go to a special school, so I only know about special relativity. basically Einstein decided that the speed of light in a vacuum is a constant, independent of the observer's speed, so he used Lorenz transformations to fit everything else in with that fact. Doing so makes length and duration vary.

I'd be happy to if this were the physics section.

Space and time are not separate.

There are two major parts, the Theory of Special Relativity and the Theory of General Relativity. The first goes into how time dilates (changes) depending on your speed. It talks about how light speed is a limit approached by matter, and how E=mc^2. General Relativity explains how a being in a gravitational field is the same as accelerating through space, even though we think we are standing still on the surface of the Earth.

Only two hours and twenty minutes until next year. I doubt if there's enough time.

Einsteins theory of relativity is based on that light as a source of energy travels and that it travels proves that the traveling is not time but only relative to the different position of that mass at a certain point probing that time is relative but not a source. In short. time is only a symptom of a shift in the position of matter

Energy equals mass X the constant squared. This means that mass ( a group of atoms) moving at the constant- a number derived from Newton's law of physics squared (the number times itself) produces energy. It is relative- meaning the ratio is the same no matter how much matter is involved.

Time, space, and energy are integral, and kind'a bendy.
