The Theory of Relativity is quite possibly the greatest modern
scientific discovery of all time and yet I would venture to
guess that most of us have no concept of it or at the very least
fail to see how everyday life is absorbed in the major concepts
of the theory. We all know it: But what does that equation
really say? It’s simply saying that the mass of a body is a
measure of its energy constant, where ‘E’ stands for Energy, ‘m’
stands for Mass, and ‘c2’ represents the speed of light squared.
This equation is often in physics referred to as the mass-energy
equivalence concept. We wont get into the math behind it, and
lets face it, most of us can’t (myself included). Einstein’s
Theory of Relativity consists of two separate theories called
special and general relativity. Special relativity is an
expansion on Galilean relativity, which expresses how matter
moves through time and space. General relativity is an expansion
to his own special relativity theory, which essentially adds
gravity into the mix. So many
