Theory of relativity challenged

In summary, the theory of relativity was proposed by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century and explains the relationship between space and time, as well as the effects of gravity on objects in the universe. The special theory of relativity deals with objects moving at high speeds, while the general theory incorporates gravity and the curvature of space and time. Despite attempts to challenge or disprove it, the theory of relativity is supported by a vast amount of evidence from various fields of science. While it cannot be proven with absolute certainty, it is widely accepted among scientists due to its success in predicting and explaining the behavior of the universe.

What would happen if Theory of relativity is abolished or challeged?
As the news is coming that Neutrino is supposed to cross the speed of light , what would happen to the physics laws when this discovery proved by scientists.

Plz give some examples .. Of physics laws .. Which physics laws failed after it. State the answer with examples..

FAQ: Theory of relativity challenged

What is the theory of relativity?

The theory of relativity is a cornerstone of modern physics proposed by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century. It explains the relationship between space and time, and the effects of gravity on objects in the universe.

What is the difference between the special and general theory of relativity?

The special theory of relativity deals with the behavior of objects moving at high speeds, while the general theory of relativity incorporates the effects of gravity on the curvature of space and time.

How has the theory of relativity been challenged?

There have been many attempts to challenge or disprove the theory of relativity, but none have been successful. Some have proposed alternative theories, while others have attempted to find flaws in Einstein's equations.

What is the evidence supporting the theory of relativity?

There is a vast amount of evidence from various fields of science that support the theory of relativity, including experiments, observations, and technological advancements such as the Global Positioning System (GPS).

Can the theory of relativity be proven?

The theory of relativity is a scientific theory, which means it cannot be proven with absolute certainty. However, the overwhelming evidence and success of the theory in predicting and explaining the behavior of the universe make it widely accepted among scientists.
