Hello, all.
I've been attempting to understand relativity the past week. I've also been reading about quantum mechanics. However, I'm going to try and direct this thread toward relativity.
1) Does relativity only cover space, time, gravity, and light?
2) In the realm of relativity, how is space defined?
3) In the realm of relativity, how is time defined?
4) In relation to time, is time in relativity better defined as entropy?
5) Does Einstein's relativity ever take into consideration subatomic particles or waves other than light?
6) In relation to space, how did Einstein define space?
The reason I've asked these questions is because it's as if Einstein defines space as everything there is, and that somehow it's all part of a geometrical fabric rather than a bunch of marbles in a jar: The jar of marbles acts as a single object (space-time fabric) rather than more than one object.
7) Am I right on that view in relation to relativity?
8) What is the point of the twin paradox hypothesis if there is a block universe?
9) Does Einstein's general relativity attempt to act as a deductive proof?
10) How can there be such a thing as space-time if there is no such thing as empty space?
Thanks for reading.
