__Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity__ Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity connected to everyday life. He was a German physicist and he came up with the equation (E=mc²). He was not only a scientist, but a philosopher as well. His theories are well known and its how our universe came together. Philosophers are still trying to figure out how he came up with his theories and what became of them.

Einstein's General Theory of Relativity was based on accelerated motion, and the force, mass, and acceleration relationship. He wanted to understand why acceleration existed and how it got there. Its defined as a change in velocity and through motion. It is dependent upon Gravitational mass. His theory was founded on the law of constancy and of the velocity of light. He compared the Big Bang Theory to general relativity.

The principal of conservation of mass: the resistance a body opposes to its mass. It remains unchanged and by physical and chemical changes. It appeared to essential to the mass.(Haselhurst 1) The study of Inertial Mass. A body remains still if it does not have a difference in the velocity and in the in-wave. The wave density in space is the same from all angles and it won't change. All the points will meet together at the same point.(Haselhurst 2)

The study of Gravitational Mass. It is similar to the inertial mass, but it is like a massive body with an electron stuck to one side of it. The in-waves and the out-waves will be very different.(Haselhurst 2)

Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity lead to many conclusions. Inertial and Gravitational Mass were of some cause to his findings. The principle of the Law of the Conservation of Energy was part to the conservation of mass and heat. He looked at time differently because he thought that one hour on earth would be different from one hour on the sun or a planet. He got a problem that was because the speed of light was not constant. Its velocity caused it to rotate the earth differently. He came up with the equation E=mc² that said energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. His relation between the conservation of momentum and energy were caused from the electromagnetic theory. He finished with publishing in 1916, his theory of general relativity. __// General Relativity: //__ Works Cited: Lightman, Alan. "Relativity and the Cosmos."

 * distance and time are not absolute
 * gravity and motion can affect the intervals of time and space
 * equivalence principle-when gravity pulls in one direction, it is equal to an object accelerating in another direction.
 * gravity acts the same as acceleration and time and space
