The theory of relativity was put forward by Albert Einstein, an outstanding physicist in the 20th century. Relativity is a theory about space-time and gravity, which can be divided into special relativity and general relativity according to different research objects.

Einstein introduced his special theory of relativity in his paper on electrodynamics of moving objects from 65438 to 0905. Einstein gave the original form of general relativity in a series of papers published around 19 15. The introduction of relativity and quantum mechanics has brought revolutionary changes to physics, which laid the foundation of modern physics.

Impact:

Einstein combined these factors with the space-time view of classical physics and put forward the special theory of relativity, which greatly changed our space-time view. At this point, special relativity is revolutionary. Relativity gave birth to quantum mechanics directly and indirectly, and established a brand-new mathematical model for studying the high-speed movement of the micro-world.
