theory of relativity and by Einstein in the general theory of relativity (an extension covering the
phenonmena of gravitation), the theory of relativity includes the statements that: 1)there is o
observable absolute motion, only relative motion  2)the velocity of light is constant and not
dependent on the motion of the source  3)no energy can be transmitted at a velocity greater than
that of light  4)the mass of a body in motion is a function of the energy content and varies with the
velocity  5)matter and energy are equivalent  6)time is relative  7)space and time are
interdependent and form a four-dimensional continuum  8)presence of matter results in a
"warping" of the space-time continuum, so that a body in motion passing nearby will describ a
curve, this being the effect known as gravitation, as evidenced by the deflection of light rays
passing through a gravitational field.
