AI overview
Special relativity is Einstein's 1905 theory that describes how measurements of space and time work differently depending on the observer's frame of reference, particularly for objects moving at constant speeds. It matters because it fundamentally changed how we understand the basic nature of space, time, and motion in the universe.
