How did the relativity theory alter our perceptions of time, space, and daily lives?

The theory of relativity by Einstein has magnified the understanding of the origins of our universe and time. It has also facilitated radical novel physics. As we know in Newton’s era, time was independent of any space, the size and the mass of a form did not change when it was in motion. When the relativity theory was introduced by Einstein, these claims were proved to be incorrect. Additionally, the traditional mechanics had instructed each physicist to question: what is speed relative to? However, light’s speed was proven to be constant and not comparative to the physical quantity of any sort.

Lastly, Einstein also stated a complete novel notion of gravity that does not represent itself as force, but as a curvature of time-space. The most histrionic predictions which are based on this theory occur on a grand scale, like those of black holes, that are born as an enormous star collapse because of its gravity and about the expansion of the universe explained by the big bang.

In our daily lives, we also benefit from the relativistic effects that were derived from the relativity theory. For instance, the satellite navigation, the way the clock works, or the GPS, the functions of all these are based on the relativity theory and possess a subjective explanation.
