Experimental relativity

Experimental relativity refers to the practical tests and observations that validate the theories of relativity proposed by Albert Einstein. It encompasses experiments designed to measure how time and space behave under different conditions, such as high speeds or strong gravitational fields. Key experiments include observing how time slows down for fast-moving objects (time dilation) and how light bends around massive objects (gravitational lensing). These experiments enhance our understanding of the universe, confirming that space and time are interconnected and influenced by gravity, shaping the foundations of modern physics and our view of reality.
