 * The two main types of relativity are general relativity and special relativity.**



 There is no ether, and the speed of light is the same for all observers, whatever their relative motion. The laws of nature are the same in all inertial frames, where the laws are understood to include those described by Maxwell. General relativity: Einstein developed the general theory of relativity to modify Newton's law of gravitation so that it would agree with special relativity.

Einstein based his special theory of relativity on this principle. The theory solved the puzzle of the Michelson-Morley experiment. It also made dramatic new predictions that were verified by later experiments. (worldbook 1)  Relativity is either of two theories of physics developed by the German-born American physicist Albert Einstein. Those theories are the special theory of relativity, which was published in 1905; and the general theory of relativity, announced in 1915. Einstein's theories explain the behavior of matter, energy, and even time and space. They are two of the "foundation blocks" upon which modern physics is built. (worldbook 1) The theories of relativity describe events so strange that people find it difficult to understand how they could possibly occur. (worldbook 1  The Theory of relativity is quite an interesting subject. It is the foundation on which modern physics is built today. The theories explain matter, energy, as well as space and time.
