Abstract

The theory of relativity was initially conditioned by the unfinished electrodynamics theory. In the theory of relativity Albert Einstein kept some ideas in his mind which was important for the modification of Physics. The two basic principles of special relativity are: (1) the speed of light is a constant in a vacuum (Murkowski space), and (2) all the physical laws remain the same for local inertial frames. In Time Dilation and Length Contraction, Einstein established some notions with a range of anomalies. Time dilates and contracts because of the fluctuation of gravitational influence in numerous space-time. In the theory of equivalence, Einstein explained that gravitational and mass are identical. But this explanation of the principle of equivalence needs more elaboration. The body retains definite shape, size, and density, but it can only express mass with the help of gravitation. Beyond the force, the field body is unable to specific mass. This concept is not incorporated with the idea of the principle of equivalence.
