special theory of relativity

基本解释

According to Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity, this is impossible.
根据爱因斯坦的狭义相对论，这当然是不可能的。
What he did not know—indeed, what no one knew until now—is that most cars would not work without the intervention of one of his most famous discoveries, the special theory of relativity.
而他不知道的——也是直到现在人们才知道的是——没有他的伟大发现之一，即狭义相对论，大多数汽车不可能发动起来。
Newton's absolute time may feel like an accurate description of the beast that rules our daily lives, but in science the notion was shattered in 1905 by Einstein's special theory of relativity.
牛顿的绝对时间概念野兽般精确地定义着我们每天的生活，但是在爱因斯坦1905年发表的《狭义相对论》中，这个概念被否定了。

Another example is in the special theory of relativity which denies all absolutes and meanings of truth.

the theory proposed in 1905 by Einstein, which assumes that the laws of physics are equally valid in all nonaccelerated frames of reference and that the speed of electromagnetic radiation in free space has the same value for all inertial observers. It leads to the idea of a space-time continuum and the equivalence of mass and energy. In combination with quantum mechanics it forms the basis of the theory of elementary particles (Also called special relativity)&rarrsee also general theory of relativity
