1)Informational statement 2) 2-4 photos or images (only from the 2 sites you chose) 3) work sited on bottom of page _ The Theory of Relativity The Theory of Relativity is made up of many theories. There is a special theory and a general theory of relativity. Michelson- Morley presented a experiment that measured the speed of light. This showed that the speed of light is constant. Einstein came along then an helped explain why this is true. For an example if i were in space looking down at a house, and my friend also was looking at that exact same house. Then i asked if the house was moving he would say no, and to me it would be. For another example did you ever hear the saying "time flies when your having fun?" Well say you are playing baseball with you friends and your parents say you have to be in at 5 for dinner, but you started at 1. Then you play and play, but then 5 comes around and it seems so soon. Then the next day you have tons of homework, and you start at one again. Then you finish at five. Then you compare and feel like you did not play baseball as long as you did homework, but actually it was the same amount of time. That is relativity. All motion is relative. Any observer will perceive an event to happen a particular way depending on their frame of reference. Each event has it's own frame of reference. Anything with the same velocity is in the same frame of reference. when people see the same event from a different frame of reference, they may radically disagree on what happened.
