The theory of relativity has been called the greatest triumph ever achieved by the disciplined imagination. When it was first proposed, in 1905, it shattered the traditional concepts of space-time, energy, and matter. Twelve years later its extended version challenged Newton's theory of gravity, replacing it with the concept of curved space. Its mathematical expressions disclosed some the nature's most intimate secrets. One of its equations became the backbone of the atomic age.
Physicists have a special respect for relativity because, unlike other theories that fade away with time, relativity has become more relevant today than in its early years. Black holes, expanding universe, the big-bang theory, all borrow heavily from relativity. .
Relativity's chief architect was Albert Einstein, a brilliant scientist, a concerned citizen, and a warm human being. He was good for nothing student who detested regimented wrote learning experiences of his youth. He sharpened his most powerful assets "concentration and mathematical ability "into the tools that needed to look into the mysteries of the nature. In his lifetime he was crowned as the prince of scientists and called the 'master-guru' of science and the father of the atomic age. Relativity is the property of almost every physical entity that exists in the universe. It is the most fascinating discovery ever been made by human being. Einstein is undoubtedly crowned for this marvelous discovery. Before Einstein, scientists were in confusion. Sometimes experiments proved that the earth is at rest but meanwhile some other experiment denied that fact. The truth was unknown. Einstein said that both the results are correct; it only depends on the fact that from which angle one sees the problem.
In 1905, Einstein put forward his 'Theory of Relativity'. Relativity is not one theory, but these are two theories i.e. "General Theory of Relativity (1916 AD)- and "Special Theory of Relativity (1905 AD)- He said that rest and motion are relative quantities and then he generalized it by saying, "Every physical quantity is relative to some other physical quantity".
There is no time or space "outside."... This is the idea of space-time. ... Motion in space affects motion in time. ... A person's heart beats to the rhythm of the realm it is in. One realm of time seems the same as any other to the person in the realms, but not to an observer outside that realm that can see the difference. ...

What we are first presented with is a somewhat illogical mix of objects: a space pod sitting in the middle of a bright white room with geometric space-aged glowing floor tiling and furniture, artwork and wall decorations that appear to be centuries old. ... The room appears to exist independent of these factors: it transcends time and space, and for this reason, one can begin to question its authenticity. ... ...

(Parker, 33) The theory of relativity is a base to what we can say may be scientifically possible in the realm of time travel. ... We know that we can save time in space by taking a shortcut through hyperspace, and some speculate that time does not pass in hyperspace as it does here. ... The more twisted space is, the slower time passes within that space. ... (Parker) To travel through the fourth dimension of space, hyperspace, space must be curved into a wormhole. ... Taking into consideration that space and time can be thought of as space-time, these radical wormh...
As the voice of "Dante" speaks from another time (14th century Italy), so he also speaks of a far away land and kosmos in which this foreign bird exists, and on another level, where Zeus is the most powerful god of an ancient pantheon. ...

I refer to the alternate concepts of time as "metaphysical time" where "metaphysical" refers to that which is not accepted as normal within the realm of humankind's three-dimensional reality. ... Both authors utilize time as an abstract concept, changing it, warping it into their metaphysical realms. ... Sir Isaac Newton theorized that each and every event in the universe has its own absolute coordinates of space and time. ... Objects or events have and absolute coordinate in space, but their coordinate in time is not absolute. Mosher states: Since Plato, time has been seen as an "ar...
