Characteristics of Time and Space in Einstein's Relativity

Ning Zhang

Abstract

Time and space are important for relativity study in physics. In matter space exists a gravitational field, owning to which time is varied, space is bent, and light trace is changed.It discusses theory of relativity featuring the characteristics of time and space, the principles of equivalence and general covariance in general relativity, gravitational field equations, the principle of relativity, time dilation, contraction of length, and gravitational waves in gravitational field.
