Einstein’s theory of relativity explains how particles move near the speed of light, it correctly explains motion for all particles. When Newton came out with his laws of motion, they explained the way object moved at slow speeds. Although, when Einstein produced his work on the Special Theory of Relativity, described the motion of particles at speeds close to the speed of light. This work correctly proved the laws of motion for any particle. Einstein’s Theory is mostly used to show the relative speeds between two objects at very high speeds, including those close to the speed of light. When observing objects at the speed of light, no matter what the relative speeds are, it is the same for all observers. The speed of light will always be seen as the same relative to all observers no matter what their motion is. This is because the speed of light is a constant of nature. When you put two people in separate spaceships traveling parallel with each other near the speed of light, their vision into the other ship will be distorted. An example of this would be if each man had a meter stick, the others would be seen as shorter in relative to their own.

Whether is is at the speed of light, or any velocity the physics will be the same. Although things do not behave the same all the time, whether they are on earth or in space, all particles in motion are affected the same way. This is dude to Einstein's special theory of relativity.

Since non-relative particles are a lot smaller then relative particles, this explains why things move differently at lower speeds compared to their movement at or around the speed of light. However, at the same time, they move the same no matter what their relativity is at or around the speed of light.

In conclusion, objects are always observed at the speed of light, they will be viewed the same no matter what enviroment they are in, on earth or in space. This also means that they will behave the same at lower speeds and at the speed of light.

This site describes Einsteins special theory of relativity. It explains the motion of relative objects. It gives you equations to support the theoretical basis of special relativity. This site is credible because it is run by the US department of energy. It is also run by stanford university.

In this website you can find the backround of Einsteins Theory of Relativity. I tells of the people that helped him and who he based his ideas off of. This site is credible because it was created by a student who wanted to learn more and teach about the great Albert Einstein.
