Philosophy of Relativity

The Philosophy of Relativity examines the implications of Einstein's theories of relativity on our understanding of space, time, and reality. It challenges traditional views by showing that measurements of time and space depend on the observer's frame of reference. This leads to questions about the nature of truth, causality, and the universe itself. For instance, if two observers see time passing differently, what does that mean for objective reality? Philosophers explore these issues, considering how relativity affects concepts like simultaneity, the nature of physical laws, and our understanding of the cosmos.
