Presentation On The Theory of Relativity

The document provides an introduction to Einstein's theory of relativity, including both the special and general theories. It summarizes that the special theory, published in 1905, describes the relationship between space and time under uniform motion. The general theory, published in 1915, generalizes special relativity and Newton's law of gravitation by describing gravity as a geometric property of spacetime. Some consequences of the theories include gravitational time dilation, light deflection, gravitational waves, and insights into cosmology and black holes. The status of the theory today includes applications to dark energy, dark matter, and gravitational wave detection.

THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY

Introduction To Relativity

 The Era of Modern Physics

 Basic ideas about relativity

 Short history
Types of Relativity

 Special Theory of relativity

 General theory Of relativity


A little Preview
• Special Theory
Published in 1905 by Albert Einstein

relationship between space and time


Uniform Motion
General Theory
Published in 1915 by Albert Einstein

 Generalizes special relativity and Newton’s law of universal


gravitation

 Providing a unified description of gravity as a geometric


property of spacetime
The Two Laws
 The First Law

 The Second Law


The Galilean Transformation
The Lorentz Transformation
The application of the Lorentz
Transformation
 Relativity of Time : Time Dilation

 Relativity of Length : Length Contraction

 Relativity of mass
Solving the problems

Back after 50 Years!!! Too fast too furious!!!


Correspondence Principles

 The Correspondence Principle says that for large orbits


and for large energies, quantum calculations must agree
with classical calculations.

The principle was formulated by Niels Bohr in 1920


Started to work on it in 1907

 Finalized it after world war II

Conservation of mass and energy


Beware The Atom Bomb!!
Atom bomb and E=mc2

OMG
!!!!!

It’s 540000000000000000000 Joules!!!!!


Arrival of the General!!

 Discusses about singularity, black hole,


cosmology, time travel, string theory

 Astrophysical implications

 Basis of current cosmological models of


consistently expanding universe
History & Others
• Published in 1915

• Superior to Newtonian gravity

• Combines the theoretical physics and astrophysics

• The golden age of General relativity


From classical Mechanics
To General Relativity

• An observer will see


a ball fall the same
way in a rocket (left)
as it does on Earth
(right), provided
that the acceleration
of the rocket is
equal to 9.8 m/s2
(the acceleration
due to gravity at the
surface of the
Earth).
Consequences Of Einstein’s Theory

Gravitational time dilation


and frequency shift
• Schematic
representation of the
gravitational redshift of
a light wave escaping
from the surface of a
massive body
Consequences Of Einstein’s Theory

Light deflection and


gravitational time delay

• Deflection of light
(sent out from the
location shown in
blue) near a compact
body (shown in gray)
Consequences Of Einstein’s Theory

Gravitational waves
• Gravitational • These ripples would
waves are 'ripples' travel at the speed of
in the fabric of light through the
space-time caused Universe, carrying
by some of the with them
most violent and information about
energetic their cataclysmic
processes in the origins
Universe
Cosmology

 Cosmology

 The Theory of
everything!!
Black holes and other compact objects

• Life of a star

• Black hole

• Singularity
Current status
• Dark energy and dark matter

• Gravitational waves

• And so on…….
Time Travel: Myth or Reality!!

YES,IT’S POSSIBLE!!!

NO,IT’S NOT!!!

OH NO,IT’S REALLY POSSIBLE!!!

NO,NOT AGAIN!!!
Things we skipped
(WE ARE SORRY!!)
String Theory

Einstein’s field equation

Gravitational lensing

The early stage of universe


Our purpose and conclusion
o To grow the interest about this historical topic

o Overcoming the fear of the theory

o Unlocking a new door to universe to you

THE MIND GAME PARADOX
