Miles Per Hour Speed Of Light
1,938 wordsThe Rise of Einsteinian Special Relativity In 1905, Einsteins Theory of Special Relativity was proposed. The reason that it is so special is because it was part of the more complex and extensive Theory of General Relativity, which was published in 1915. His theory reshaped the world of physics when it contradicted all previous laws of motion erected by Galileo and Newton. By mathematically manipulating these previous laws of motion, physicists in the nineteenth century were able to explain such ...
