Being new on this site I've decided to post a question that has echoed through my head for a while now. If Einstein's Theory of Relativity literally claims that all actions and reactions are relative to the observer, then how do we as humans measure anything at all without being at any constant? We know our constant speed around the sun, and even our universe's speed around the Super Giant Black Hole that supposedly resides at the center of our Universe, but as we have these constants wouldn't that make everything we see, feel and so on only relevant to us or our planet? In other words, if I were to travel to Mars and take measurements pertaining to vast distances across the Universe but based on measurements originally obtained from Earth would the entire aspect of all equations become different, or would I need to mover further out (lets say Alpha Centauri) before anything changed? We know (thanks to relativity) that we will always appear to be the center of "The Universe" except the measurements we have made that show the Universe is expanding, but we as a species have never identified (yet) where this actual center may be. I guess what I am asking is is there any other great all encompassing theroies besides relativity that can explain as much as Einstein did without relativity to the observer?
Thanks very much,
