RELATIVITY, THEORY OF

Specialty Definition: RELATIVITY, THEORY OF

DomainDefinition

Physics

More accurately describes the motions of bodies in strong gravitational fields or at near the speed of light than Newtonian mechanics. All experiments done to date agree with relativity's predictions to a high degree of accuracy. (Curiously, Einstein received the Nobel prize in 1921 not for Relativity but rather for his 1905 work on the photoelectric effect.). (references)
