Einstein's theory of general relativity and special relativity is the greatest achievment scientific imagination man has ever seen. His theory describes the motion of particles moving at speeds close to that of the speed of light. Einstein used Newton's laws of physics to derive his theory and change history.

Einstein had theories for general relativity and one called special relativty

__**Special Relativity**__ In special relativity Einstein used 2 statements to base his whole theory off of 1.Speed of light is the same for all observers no matter their relative speeds 2.The laws of physics are the same in any inertial reference Einstein used these statements to develop his theories on motion and speed to your reference point. Einstein's biggest claim to fame for his theory of special relativity is deriving the equation E=mc^2 m=mass and c= the speed of light Einstein's theory proposes that distance and time can never be absolute.

general relativity was Einstein expanding on his theory of special relativity. In general relativity Einstein touched on the syubject of gravity and its affects on matter. Einstein that since in space their is no gravity, matter would cause space to curve. After Einstein derived this theory there was a boom of experimental activity by many scientist trying to disprove Einstein's theory. In this theory Einstein predicted that time dialation can become very significant when spacetime is curved by a massive object such as a black hole. Einstein's theory of general relativity was such a big deal because nobody was thinking of gravity at the time. He derived his theory from observations he made so he had very little to base his theory off of and the fact that his theory is still used today is amazing.

This site was helpful in understanding Einstein's theory on how gravity affects the universe. Site had many illustrations that showed Einstein's theory of general relativity in motion. This site helped in understanding Einstein's theory of special relativity. The site showed how Einstein came up with the equation E=mc^2 and what all components of the equation stand for.
