The theory of relativity, developed by Albert Einstein, revolutionized the field of physics. It challenged the traditional Newtonian concepts of time, space, and gravity. Einstein's theory proposed that time and space are not absolute but are interconnected dimensions that form a four-dimensional fabric called space time. It also introduced the concept of gravity as the curvature of space time caused by the presence of mass and energy.
What was the impact of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity?
