ch is the speed of light. This means that from different observers moving with different speeds and therefore different frames of reference (that was his term) the universe will be seen different in its shape and time.The nearer the speeds of objects come to the speed of light the more the universe will be distorted.Results of the theory show that objects moving at such high speeds will experience a contraction in the direction of movement. Their mass will increase. And time will run slower.Since the mass of an object increases exponentially the nearer it comes to the speed of light no object can ever reach that speed. And never will anything be able to travel with more than 186.000 m.p.s since this would mean that the object would have an infinite mass.Sorry to all Science-Fiction fans out there. This is not possible according to Einsteins theory of Relativity.The old Newtonian Model is a special case of the Theory of Relativity. When everything is moving at slow speeds everything behaves as we already knew before.Einsteins first step was the Theory of Special Relativity. Special Relativity is only concerned with objects that are not accelerating but moving at constant speeds toward each other.Einsteins later Theory of General Relativity also includes objects that are accelerating relative to each other. Special relativity is much simpler than General Relativity. Most discussions are only concerned with Special Relativity. It is said that there is no one who really understand General Relativity.It is important to understand that Relativity for Einstein does not mean everything is just fluid and. Relativity means that the behaviour of moving objects is exactly predictable and therefore deterministic. There is no sort of freedom in this Theory. All implications that are drawn for everyday life or ethics like the common saying - everything is relative - are pure nonsense and have nothing to do with this Theory. If we would use "relative" ...
