 **The Theory of Relativity can be a hard concept to grasp. If certain aspects/topics of the theory are understood, it may be easier to comprehend the information. Those are, motion and rest are relative to each other, the speed of light is the same to any observer and the laws of physics are the same for all objects.**  **The Theory of Relativity was created by Albert Einstein in 1905. With the knowledge of Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion, he could create a theory about objects in space. It explains the behavior of time, energy and matter in space. The Theory of Relativity became a frame work for basic knowledge of Physics.**

 * Motion and rest are relative to each other in space traveling at a constant velocity. In a frictionless environment, (space) one wouldn’t be able to “realize” that an object is accelerating or at rest. The motion of the object would have no affect on anyone observing or inside of that object, if there is no change in velocity or direction. The motion of the object would have no effect on the motion of something observing or inside it. When an object is at rest, the object inside or observing it will not be affect either. This will cause an observer or an object inside, unable to identify whether or not this object is at rest or in motion. **


 * Albert Einstein concluded that the speed of light is the same to any independent observer. Einstein was able to come to this conclusion due to the fact that the speed of light is a constant. As humans, we can't do "anything" faster than the speed of light. Knowing this, we can infer that, the speed of light is a quanity for the variable //c, E=MC^2//. This equation is equal to energy compared to the mass at rest.**


 * Using the Theory of Relativity, one can conclude, that the laws of physics apply to all objects. This can be concluded because, we can now create equations for all things in nature, and not based upon when those things are in motion. These equations are, momentum, energy and gamma. Momentum, energy and gamma relate to the Theory of Relativity because of;

The Theory of Relativity has helped the subject of physics to explain objects in the natural world. It has also helped to create ways in solving mathematical problems. Motion and rest are relative to each other, the speed of light is the same to any observer and the laws of physics are the same for all people has become the basis for physics. Albert Einstein has become known as the "father of Physics", this Theory has become very important in the world of Physics. He has inspired many other scientists, to learn more about the world we live in.**

Dunbar, Brian. "NASA - Relativity." __NASA - Home__. 29 Nov. 2007. 5 Feb. 2009 .

This website is good because it explains the theory of relativity in a detailed manner. It also has a valid contributor (author). It isnt biased, and has very broad information.

"Theory: Special Relativity (SLAC VVC)." __SLAC Public Website Server__. 31 Oct. 2008. 5 Feb. 2009 .

The website offers information regarding the Theory of Relativity. It offers explanations on the Theory itself and also other concepts that go along with the Theory of Relativity. It explains; monetum, energy and it aslo explains how to use and find those through equations. The site also offers links to additional information regarding the Theory of Relativity and other concepts relating to Science. I think this is a good site because it is "actual" scientists and researches who are learning new things everday and sharing it with people. SLAC is an organization with a credible history and connected to Stanford University. It also has a way to contact the people of SLAC, and it has up to date information.
