Relativity

What do we mean by relativity?

The quality or state of being relative. noun

A state of dependence in which the existence or significance of one entity is solely dependent on that of another. noun

Special relativity. noun

General relativity. noun

The character of being relative; relativeness; the being of an object as it is by force of something to which it is relative. noun

Specifically Phenomenality; existence as an immediate object of the understanding or of experience; existence only in relation to a thinking mind. noun

The doctrine that it is impossible to have knowledge of anything except by means of its relations to the mind, direct and indirect, cognized as relations. noun

The doctrine of phenomenalism, that only appearances can be known, and that the relations of these appearances to external substrata, if such there be, are completely incognizable. This doctrine is sometimes associated with a denial of the possibility of any knowledge of relations as such, or at least of any whose terms are not independently present together in consciousness. It would therefore better be denominated the doctrine of the impossibility of relativity of cognition. noun

The doctrine that we can only become conscious of objects in their relations to one another. This doctrine is almost universally held by psychologists. noun

The state of being relative. noun

One of two theories (also called theory of relativity) proposed by Albert Einstein, the special theory of relativity, or the general theory of relativity. The special theory of relativity or special relativity is based on the proposition that the speed of light is a constant no matter how observed, and is independent of the motion of the observer. From this follows several principles, such as the increase of mass with velocity (which has been confirmed: see relativistic mass equation) and the impossibility of acceleration to a speed greater than that of light; the equivalence of mass and energy, expressed by the famous equation E = mc2; and time dilation, which is the apparent slowing of a clock in a system, as observed by an observer in a system moving relative to the clock. The general theory of relativity is based on the proposition that there is no physical difference between gravitational force and the force produced by acceleration. From this follow several results, of which the bending of light rays in a gravitational field and the equivalence of the inertial and gravitational masses have been verified. The possible existence of black holes (believed by many astronomers to have been adequately proven) is another consequence of the theory. noun

The state of being relative to something else. noun

The principle that the laws of physics should be the same for all observers. noun

Either of two theories (special relativity or general relativity) developed by German-American physicist Albert Einstein. Also called Einsteinian relativity. noun

(physics) the theory that space and time are relative concepts rather than absolute concepts noun

The quality of being relative and having significance only in relation to something else noun

The state of being relative to something else.

The principle that the laws of physics should be the same for all observers.

Either of two theories (special relativity or general relativity) developed by German-American physicist Albert Einstein. Also called Einsteinian relativity.

Formally known as the Theory of Special Relativity, formulated by Albert Einstein in 1905. Deals with the perception of time and distance by observers in different frames of reference which are moving with respect to each other. An observer in one frame perceives that time is slower and distances are shorter in a different frame. Also postulates that the speed of light is perceived to be the same in every frame of reference, and that no form of matter or energy can travel faster than light. Urban Dictionary

The phenomenon in which extreme environmental factors (especially speed greater than the speed of light) change our perceptions of the same objective amount of time. Urban Dictionary
