In our daily life we are moving with velocities much less than the velocity of light. Therefore we don't feel the effect of special theory of relativity. But if you are moving with velocity comparative to velocity of light then you may see many effect like length contraction, time dilation etc. if you...

In our daily life we are moving with velocities much less than the velocity of light. Therefore we don't feel the effect of special theory of relativity. But if you are moving with velocity comparative to velocity of light then you may see many effect like length contraction, time dilation etc. if you talk in general about the theory of relativity then i would say that every physical phenomena is relative.. for example when we move forward, we see that other objects are going back. read less

Just a few years ago most televisions and monitors had cathode ray tube screens. A cathode ray tube works by firing electrons at a phosphor surface with a big magnet. Each electron makes a lighted pixel when it hits the back of the screen. The electrons fired out to make the picture move at up to 30...

Just a few years ago most televisions and monitors had cathode ray tube screens. A cathode ray tube works by firing electrons at a phosphor surface with a big magnet. Each electron makes a lighted pixel when it hits the back of the screen. The electrons fired out to make the picture move at up to 30 percent the speed of light. Relativistic effects are noticeable, and when manufacturers shaped the magnets, they had to take those effects into account. read less

The reverse is often said to be true for a twin who spends time high on a mountaintop — general relativity predicts that time passes more quickly at greater altitudes because objects don't feel the Earth's gravity quite as strongly.

The reverse is often said to be true for a twin who spends time high on a mountaintop — general relativity predicts that time passes more quickly at greater altitudes because objects don't feel the Earth's gravity quite as strongly. The physicists found that a twin who lives just about a foot above sea level will age ever-so-slightly faster than a twin living at the beach, too. The physicists used an atomic clock, which fills a large dining room table, that works by calibrating the frequency of a laser to that of an aluminum ion. The laser's oscillations are the equivalent of a traditional clock's ticks, but they occur far more rapidly — over a million billion times per second. That's about 100,000 times faster than the tick rate of the microwave-based atomic clocks that currently set the time standard in the United States. The effects they measured are infinitesimally small. The physicists reported that a clock positioned about two-thirds of a mile above an identical clock near the Earth's surface will speed up only enough to tick out three extra seconds over the course of a million years. "During your daily life, you experience relativity," said James Chin-Wen Chou, a postdoctoral researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colo., who led the experiments. "This (makes) science resonate with regular people." read less

Application of relativity :- 1. GPS :- clocks on satellites need accuracy of the order of nano seconds which requires relativistic corrections. 2. Effects of electromagnets are having basis in special relativity. 3. The non-corrosive nature of gold. It almost behaves like a noble metal due to strongly...

Application of relativity :- 1. GPS :- clocks on satellites need accuracy of the order of nano seconds which requires relativistic corrections. 2. Effects of electromagnets are having basis in special relativity. 3. The non-corrosive nature of gold. It almost behaves like a noble metal due to strongly bonded electrons with nucleus. This extra strength is the result of heavier mass of electron due to their faster orbital speed. 4. Similarly mercury is liquid at room temperature as it is not able form bonds with its own atoms. read less

Comprehensive Knowledge , well mix of basic and advanced concept , Industrial utility

one simple example is We can use mobile when moving at good speed or space communication... here theory of relativity plays a role because the speed of signal travel is independent of speed of bodies

it relates the timing funda with velocity if we move with the velocity of light than we change our time domain directly
