    Daly Mather Valderrama AP Lang 16 March 2015 My Theory of Relativity Eyeing the colorful Post-Its that haphazardly covered the extensive wall, the tall girl snorted in pompous disgust. “Typical,” she announced to her friend. “What do you expect from a bunch of South Orange County rich kids?” I reread a few of the papers, all anonymous testimonials of issues faced by teenagers at my school. Some mentioned how difficult it was to keep their grades up; others reflected on a sickness affecting the family;

    The most recent confirmation of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity was the detection of gravitational waves. This discovery revolutionised our understanding of science and the universe. It has also unlocked the potential for future scientific endeavours especially in the field of gravitational wave astronomy. Spacetime is the union of the three spatial dimensions and the one time dimension into a continuum1. According to general relativity, gravity is the curvature of this spacetime due to the

    Einstein has brought many insights of life including the theory of the speed of light, which has led to the special theory of relativity that molded the way science, is today. “For example, various experiments, including the Michelson-Morley experiment, failed to measure the expected changes in the speed of light relative to the motion of the Earth

    The History of Classical Gravitational Theory and General Relativity In the beginning scientists and religious men of their era tried to explain the universe both biblically and scientifically. One of the foremost Greek scientists was Aristotle; taught by Plato, that the circle and sphere are the two most perfect shapes in a 2 and 3 dimensional universe, Aristotelian system placed Earth at the center of the universe; and all other heavenly bodies revolved around the earth in crystalline orbitals

    The present paper discusses the relativistic Doppler effect and tries to found misunderstandings in the present state of the Special theory of relativity. The author's conclusion that he found some “blue shift” which contradicts with time dilation is wrong. The weakest feature of the paper is that although the formulas, presented by authors, are in general correct, but they do not support the conclusions the author extract from them, and mistake is hidden in the interpretation. Let's focus on the

    Time Dilation and Einstein 's Special Theory of Relativity in Interstellar Einstein 's theory of special relativity, ever since its introduction in 1905, has been a tricky and confusing subject. Many people could not grasp how time could be different for two objects as people saw time as a linear entity moving at one second per second. However, several experiments many decades later proved Einstein 's original theories. Scientists came up with several theories to explain this phenomenon such as
