दिक् और काल स्थिर और निरपेक्ष नहीं बल्कि प्रेक्षक की गति पर निर्भर हैं – और भौतिकी को अनुभव से मेल खाना चाहिए, अंतर्ज्ञान से नहीं।

मत
Einstein’s theories of relativity overturned the Newtonian picture of absolute space and time: simultaneity depends on the observer, and gravity is the curvature of spacetime. This had deep philosophical consequences. The logical empiricists of the Vienna Circle and Reichenbach saw in it proof that concepts must be tied to measurement, while Popper admired how Einstein’s theory risked refutation by precise predictions. Einstein himself remained a realist who believed in a lawful, comprehensible universe and doubted that quantum mechanics was complete. He spoke of a religious feeling in the face of the order of nature, close to Spinoza’s God.
जीवन और संदर्भ
Born in Ulm in 1879, Einstein studied in Zurich and worked at the patent office in Bern, where in 1905 he published papers on light, molecular motion and special relativity. He completed general relativity in Berlin in 1915 and received the Nobel Prize in 1921. As a Jew and pacifist he left Germany in 1933 and worked in Princeton until his death in 1955.
