Einstein's theory of relativity revolutionized physics from "summary" of To Explain the World by Steven Weinberg
Einstein's theory of relativity stands as a monumental achievement in the history of physics. This groundbreaking concept not only shifted our understanding of the universe but also revolutionized the entire field of physics. The implications of this theory were profound, challenging long-held beliefs and opening up new avenues of exploration. One of the key aspects of Einstein's theory of relativity is its departure from classical Newtonian physics. Where Newtonian physics operated within the framework of absolute space and time, Einstein's theory introduced the idea of spacetime as a unified entity. This new perspective merged space and time into a single continuum, fundamentally altering our perception of the cosmos. Moreover, Einstein's theory of relativity fundamentally tr...
