Example sentencesExamples

- The late Herbert Stein essayed on the relativity of wealth in 1996 for the Journal editorial page in an article titled ‘Am I Better Off?’
- While we recognize the relativity of any system of beliefs, we do not want to give up on them all, lest we give up on the hope of changing the world.
- The apparent relativity of the moral impulse is an illusion which is created by the mind for the mind's own purposes.
- Mr Cowen said the benchmarking system has rid the public sector of relativity clauses that had serious flaws allowing groups with no connections to argue for similar wage deals.

2Physics
The dependence of various physical phenomena on relative motion of the observer and the observed objects, especially regarding the nature and behaviour of light, space, time, and gravity.
〔物理〕相对论
The concept of relativity was set out in Einstein's special theory of relativity, published in 1905. This states that all motion is relative and that the velocity of light in a vacuum has a constant value which nothing can exceed. Among its consequences are the following: the mass of a body increases and its length (in the direction of motion) shortens as its speed increases; the time interval between two events occurring in a moving body appears greater to a stationary observer; and mass and energy are equivalent and interconvertible. Einstein's general theory of relativity, published in 1915, extended the theory to accelerated motion and gravitation, which was treated as a curvature of the space–time continuum. It predicted that light rays would be deflected, and shifted in wavelength, when passing through a substantial gravitational field, effects which have been experimentally confirmed
Example sentencesExamples
- Penrose introduced the scope of modern physics and followed with a description of possible models of the universe based on criteria from the theory of relativity, including the effect of singularities.
- Because there are things in the universe that exist or did exist that are very heavy, thus general relativity applies, but these things are also very compact and small, so quantum mechanics applies.
- According to general relativity, gravitational differences affect time by dilating it.
- General relativity explains the behaviour of gravity and its effect on both matter and energy.
- In 1922, the Russian physicist Alexander Friedmann predicted from general relativity that the universe should be expanding.
