I agree. Relativity is important - uniform units.

Let's not forget Relativity :)

relativity

Relativity makes it simpler actually.

In the area he's working here, it's totally fine. You only need relativity when you have extreme speeds or masses. Knowing which approximations are fine to use when is a skill too.

Yep, that's relativity.

Relativity.

We have few time standards that already take relativity into account:

The observation is consistent with the theory of relativity.

That's the point. Relativity is a barrier and we want a way to break through it.

Things like time dilation are accounted for in the measurements.

Came here to ask exactly this. Not knowing much about relativity leaves me wondering if this is actually significant?

not an exaggeration, but relativity is everything here

db48x | karma 6953 | avg karma 2.05 · | 2019-01-23 20:25:10

Minute Physics has some good videos about relativity.

mkehrt | karma 520 | avg karma 2.1 · | 2015-07-14 21:42:44+00:00

Yes, that's how relativity works.

goldenkey | karma 2244 | avg karma 0.68 · | 2018-04-04 08:10:05

Relativity in a nut shell.

Taywee | karma 2279 | avg karma 4.76 · | 2022-01-23 09:16:57

Relativity is still objective. Objective does not mean constant.

jamiek88 | karma 3501 | avg karma 2.44 · | 2019-10-19 06:18:07

Relativity is a model. Yet it is settled.

Still 'wrong' though.

Yeah, it's obviously a restatement of relativity.

epx | karma 1242 | avg karma 1.8 · | 2017-04-27 01:10:52

Relativity stems from the Michelson-Morley experiment.
