Is a theory developed by Albert Einstein in 1905 that explains how space and time are combined into a four-dimensional space-time, that is finite and consistent with the laws of physics. Moreover, it explains the motion of particles with constant velocity relative to each other, regardless of their position or orientation, and that there is a maximum speed limit of the universe, the speed of light.
