Frame of reference

In physics, a frame of reference is a coordinate system used to specify either the position or the orientation or velocity of a body. The origin of the coordinate acts as a reference point for measuring the position or relative motion of a body. The coordinate system can be a cartesian coordinate, cylindrical coordinate, or a polar coordinate.

Question

Give four ways to see Einstein's Theory of Relativity in real life. Provide a brief explanation of each and how these impact the life of humans.

Definition Definition Theory that describes how space and time interact. The special theory of relativity is based on two postulates in Albert Einstein's first formulation: The laws of physics do not change in each inertial frame of reference. The speed of light in free space is constant.
