Shifting the Paradigm of Physics
Special relativity changed the way we view space and time and showed us that time is relative to an observer.

We live in four-dimensional space-time, in which the ordering of certain events can depend on the observer.

The Relativistic Universe
Gravity is a geometrical effect in which a metric matrix plays a special role, and the motion of objects are altered by curved space.
