Question
how did einsteins theory of relativity change the way people thought about the universe?
it made people think they lived in a universe that might not be fully understood.
it made people look forward to new scientific advances.
it made people realize that the universe was exactly as newton had described it.
it made people confident that science would be able to explain all natural phenomena.
Einstein's theory of relativity introduced new concepts like spacetime curvature and the relativity of simultaneity. These ideas showed that the universe was more complex than previously thought. Newton's laws were shown to be approximations valid in certain conditions. The theory also led to questions about the nature of gravity, light, and the large - scale structure of the universe. It made it clear that there were still many aspects of the universe that were not fully understood, rather than confirming Newton's description or giving full confidence in explaining all natural phenomena through existing science at the time.
