Apr 27, 20261 min read

Special Relativity is Albert Einstein’s theory for physics in inertial frames with constant light speed.

Big consequences include time dilation, length contraction, and mass-energy equivalence.

It does not include gravity directly; that extension comes with General Relativity.
