Albert Einstein
In 1905, [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Albert_Einstein][u][size=25][color:2e69=#0000ff]Albert Einstein[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25] published a paper on a [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Special_theory_of_relativity][u][size=25][color:2e69=#0000ff]special theory of relativity[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25], in which he proposed that space and time be combined into a single construct known as [i]spacetime[/i]. In this theory, the [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Speed_of_light][u][size=25][color:2e69=#0000ff]speed of light[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25] in a [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Vacuum][u][size=25][color:2e69=#0000ff]vacuum[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25] is the same for all observers - which has [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Relativity_of_simultaneity][u][size=25][color:2e69=#0000ff]the result[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25] that two events that appear simultaneous to one particular observer will not be simultaneous to another observer if the observers are moving with respect to one another. Moreover, an observer will measure a moving clock to [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Time_dilation][u][size=25][color:2e69=#0000ff]tick more slowly[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25] than one which is stationary with respect to them; and objects are measured [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Length_contraction][u][size=25][color:2e69=#0000ff]to be shortened[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25] in the direction that they are moving with respect to the observer.
Over the following ten years Einstein worked on a [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/General_theory_of_relativity][u][size=25][color:2e69=#0000ff]general theory of relativity[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25], which is a theory of how [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Gravity][u][size=25][color:2e69=#0000ff]gravity[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25] interacts with spacetime. Instead of viewing gravity as a [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Force_field][u][size=25][color:2e69=#0000ff]force field[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25] acting in spacetime, Einstein suggested that it modifies the geometric structure of spacetime itself.[/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/l%20cite_note-18][u][size=25][color:2e69=#0000ff][19][/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25] According to the general theory, time [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Gravitational_time_dilation][u][size=25][color:2e69=#0000ff]goes more slowly[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25] at places with lower gravitational potentials and rays of light bend in the presence of a gravitational field. Scientists have studied the behaviour of [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Binary_pulsar][u][size=25][color:2e69=#0000ff]binary pulsars[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=25], confirming the predictions of Einstein's theories and Non-Euclidean geometry is usually used to describe spacetime.[/size]
