** Theory Of Reletivity ** Today we have many new technologies that make our day to day life more efficient and also more accommodating but how did we discover all the new technology? The answer to this question is quite simple we accepted the theory of relativity and because of this we now have such resources for quicker traveling, advances in military technology, and everyday accomidations. Today we use so many new tools and technologys that past generations did not have the convieniance to use and many people don't know that we have many of these new accomidations due to the theory of reletivity and our acceptance of the idea.

 Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity describes the motion of particles moving at close to the speed of light. In fact, it gives the correct laws of motion for any particle. This doesn't mean Newton was wrong, his equations are contained within the relativistic equations(Slac1). The theory of relativity was constructed based on two previously stated the first was that the speed of light is the same for all people no matter what their relative speeds(Slac1). The second is that the laws of physics are the same in any inertial (that is, non-accelerated) frame of reference. This means that the laws of physics observed by a hypothetical observer traveling with a relativistic particle must be the same as those observed by an observer who is stationary in the laboratory(Slac1). The fact that the speed of light is the same to all people is the crucial part of the theory of relativity. This led to Einstein using the letter C as a constant which stands for the speed of light and the first step he found in his famous equation E=MC2. The rest of the equation is based on his colleagues previous findings so in essence there are many deserving credit for the theory of relativity but only one is really credited, Einstein of course.  Accepting the theory of reletivity has proved to be one of the most extrodinary discoverys to the human race. Because we have accepted the theory of reletivity we can now cover greater areas in short amounts of time. Many scientists have taken the theory of reletivity and used it to shape their own ideas and the fusion of his, einsteins, theory and the idea of flight and created what we know now as aircraft flight. The scientists used the theory to prove that if they could get a wide area to accelerate fast enough then reletivity would prove that the area would lose mass and would be conseved and energy would be produced which would cause the area to catch the force of the air and cause the area to fly. This proves that due to us, the human race, accepting the theory of reletivity has made us able to cover wide areas of space of in shorter times. Our military today has been able to put to great use the theory to help protect our homeland. Of all these new technologys i beleive that the radar is the most used of them all. The scientists took the theory and applied it to micropulses released by some electronic devices and proved that if the pulses hit an object at a certain speed then it will conserve energy which is converted to heat energy which the pulse picks up and is able to transmit back to its origin(PublicLiterture.org1). The radar is definatly not the only use the theory of reletivity has been applied by the military. Other, in fact many others, are all due to the theory like for example fighter plans and missles all invented by applying the theory in some way or another. Even though our own military has made great use of the theory of reletivity there have been negatives. One of these negatives is that terrorists and other problematic people are able to take advantage of the technology of the theory and use it as a key tool in their plots. This device is a perfect example of the application of theory of reletivity to daily life.

The last of my proofs that the theory of reletivity is applied to today is that the theory is directly related the daily accomidations that we are so greatful to be able to use. One of these applications is the use of telephones and how the micropulses in the phone can connect to other devices. This was the based entirely on the theory of reletivity. Einstein thought that he found one of the worlds greatest discoverys he was not able to live long enough to see how so many things in our life can be credited to his discovery(Nova1). Had he been able to see today he would see how his theory can be applied to not just a scientific world but to almost all aspects of life. This has shown that due to our accepting of the theory of reletivity we can and have been able to expand its idea to make our lives better in so many different ways that there is too many to list. Thanks to our acceptance of the theory of reletivity we now can enjoy many new technologys that make our lives more enjoyable. The theory has been applied to far beyond the walls of scientific world but to many different aspects of life and we have made so many advances that we now can travel longer distances in a shorter amount of time. The theory has also been able to protect our lives from those who threaten our lives and due to the theory we have also givin the ideas to many people who can use them in ways not intended to be used by Einstein proving that nothing is all positve. Today we forget and ignore the technology we use everyday but if we take a second to research where all the technology came from we would discover that if it was not for the theory of reletivity we would not be able to take advantage of it and our lives would become more complicated(Nova1). In the future I believe our use of the theory of reletivity will be increased and we will be able to fuse current technology to create such objects of flying cars which all comes from and is formed by the theory of reletivity. In all our lives today have been greatly impacted by the discovery of the theory of reletivity and had it not been for this magnificent discovery we would still be living in a very simple world.
