Einstein's Theory Of Relativity with recent developments

The theory of relativity, or simply relativity, generally refers specifically to two theories of Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity. However, the word "relativity" is sometimes used in reference to Galilean relativity.The term "theory of relativity" was coined by Max Planck in 1908 to emphasize how special relativity (and later, general relativity) uses the principle of relativity.[]

Recent Developments on Einstein's Theory Of Relativity:
  • Possible Abnormality In Fundamental Building Block Of: Physicists have developed a promising new way to identify a possible abnormality in a fundamental building block of Einstein's theory of relativity known as "Lorentz invariance." If confirmed, the abnormality would disprove the basic tenet that the laws of physics remain the same for any two objects traveling at a constant speed or rotated relative to one another.[1]
  • Einstein In Need Of Update? Calculations Show The Speed Of Light Might Change: In 1905, Einstein made major changes to laws of physics when he established his theory of relativity. Now Einstein’s laws might also undergo significant changes. Physicists at Texas A&M University and elsewhere have concluded that the speed of light, instead of being the constant value of 186,282 miles per second, might change.[2]
  • Einstein's Relativity Theory Proven With The 'Lead' Of A Pencil: Scientists at The University of Manchester have discovered a new way to test Einstein's theory of relativity using the 'lead' of a pencil.Until now it was only possible to test the theory by building expensive machinery or by studying stars in distant galaxies, but a team of British, Russian and Dutch scientists has now proven it can be done in the lab using an ultra-thin material called Graphene.[3]
  • Einstein's Relativity Survives Neutrino Test: Physicists working to disprove "Lorentz invariance" -- Einstein's prediction that matter and massless particles will behave the same no matter how they're turned or how fast they go -- won't get that satisfaction from muon neutrinos, at least for the time being, says a consortium of scientists.[4]
