General Relativity Vs Special Relativity

                      General Relativity Vs Special Relativity

Many times I have come into situation when I heard people talking about special relativity and general relativity, and you know what, most of them were wrong. Actually understanding both the theories is very easy, but the tough part is their understanding and application and it would be better if we dont talk about the mathematical application of these. The most interesting part of the theories is that both are anti to each other, that is, they both prove each other wrong but still we have to use both and in actual both do exists and are correct.
 

 

The main difference between special relativity and general relativity is all about their limitations. General relativity says that in any frame of reference, a body can not exceed the speed of light, if a body is traveling at a speed near to the speed of light and try to cross it then its time will slow down which will lead to slowdown of its velocity, and the universal law persists. here comes the famous equation of Albert Einstein of E= mc^2. This formula says that is a body travels at a speed of light then its mass will change into energy and hence it cannot cross the speed limit. (At least not in these dimensions). On the other hand, special relativity is all about  situation when the speed of body exceeds the speed of light then what happens. Time dilation came from here, mass inconsistency was from here, and everything is variable is from here. The theory says that if an object travels at a speed more then of light then it time would run slower then the rest of the universe and it s every thing would very by a factor of as shown in the right image.
