wormholeman Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I would like to know why people find relativity interesting. I find relativity interesting because It has a lot to do with fact that its meaning proses to relation. There are so many words in any language that are related to one another. Example: relation, relative, relativity, relationship, relate, and relative. I think that is awsome! But It seems to me that the more it is cut down to size, relative would be more of an accurate definition. That mabey why Einstien chose to call it relativity. Any thoughts?

ecoli Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Because he's theory was about how time is relative, in a relationship to speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecoli Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 you know, you're questions would probably be better answered by looking up old threads or a google search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbug1 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Is this a question of relativity, or semantics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormholeman Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 Is this a question of relativity, or semantics? Only Relativity. I should have rephrased the question. I ment to ask why you (the individual), not people in general, are interested in relativity. edit: Thats why at the beginning of this thread I explained why I am interested in it.

Galileo Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 That mabey why Einstien chose to call it relativity. Einstein wasn't the first to call it relativity. Einstein learned of the relativity principle from reading the works of Henri Poincaré. http://www-cosmosaf.iap.fr/Poincare-RR3A.htm http://www.dmoz.org/Science/Physics/Relativity/Special_Relativity/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
