Relativity

 Relativity comes in many flavors perhaps the two most common are special and general. If you never accelerate, and are not too massive, special relatvity is right for you, however, as soon as you get massive and/or accelerate, general relativity is necessary for correct physics. Here are a few of the more fundamental problems in Relativity:

1. Time dilation
2. Length contraction
3. Velocity addition
4. Doppler effect
5. Minkowski space
6. Lorentz group
7. Energy-mass relation
8. Light Clock
9. Gravitational waves
10. Schwarschild metric
