Lecture Notes on Special Relativity
physics.mq.edu.auTheory of Relativity. Later, Einstein was able to further develop this theory, leading to what is known as the General Theory of Relativity. Amongst other things, this latter theory is essentially a theory of gravitation. Relativity (both the Special and General theories), quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics are

THE SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY
physics.mq.edu.auThe General Theory will not be dealt with in this course. Relativity (both the Special and General) theories, quantum mechanics, and thermody-namics are the three major theories on which modern physics is based. What is unique about these three theories, as distinct from say the theory of electromagnetism, is their generality.

A Christian Physicist Examines the Age of the Earth
www.letu.eduOne suggestion uses Einstein’s theory of relativity, in which time measurements are relative to the observer’s reference frame to propose that both a 6000 year old Earth and a 4.6 billion year old Earth are possible [3].
Relativity: The Special and General Theory
www.f.waseda.jpThe general theory of relativity, together with the necessary parts of the theory of invariants, is dealt with in the author’s book Die Grundlagen der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie (The Foundations of the General Theory of Relativity) — Joh. Ambr. Barth, 1916; this book assumes some familiarity with the special theory of relativity. v
