Either it is Relativity or Einstein himself, both have always fascinated the whole world. But today, let's take the scenic route through memory lane, and do a reality check on the concept of relativistic mass.

Ever watched a scientific video and raised doubt against a scientist's theory? Questioning the unquestionable can lead to bizarre new things and observations.

Big Bang Theory doesn’t give us the whole explanation of the Origin of the Universe. It explained that the Universe started with a Big Bang or you say singularity about 13.82 billion years ago. Though we fully don’t know how it happened, we are able understand it through mathematical equations and models.

General relativity (GR) is a theory of gravity proposed by Einstein in 1915. It is considered as one of the most robust theories in physics not because it is hard, but because the maths involved in it is complicated. The main motive behind Einstein’s new theory was that the Newtonian Gravity violates the principles of special relativity

Dark Energy is an unknown and hypothetical form of energy that affects the Universe by producing a negative gravity or anti-gravity i.e. it acts against gravity. This is being theorized from the observable properties of distant supernovae, which show that the universe is expanding at an accelerating speed.

Einstein came up with the special theory of relativity. He inculcated the transformation equations mathematically developed by Lorentz, rather than the Galilean transformation and showed that this was, in fact, consistent with Maxwell’s theory. This theory was a revolution in physics and it changed most of the physics we know today.
