eienstin did not create theory of relativity....but who is to say this is the absolute truth?????? we are taught theory of relativity because it is accepted by the scieintifc communicities, becasue it answers a lot of questions. but hundred years from today, Einstein II might come into the picutre, disprove theory of relativity and there you go, we have a new thoeryy that expalins even more things than the last one......that is how scientific theories have always worked. one comes, his theory gets accepted for a while, and then anohter r comes and his thoery answers even more qeustions and concners, we reject teh last one and accept this new one...it is a cycle.. tell me, how do u even KNOW teh theory of relativity is the absolute truthh???? how do you???? isnt' it because ur prof told u so? ur books told u so? or u checked it in the lab yourslef???? you might have. but think, could not your senese be lying to you? how do you KNOW that what you see and what u read is ultimate truth?????? how do u know for a fact that waht you see really existsss???? u never do, i mean, we never do. u eyes culd be lying to you, ur senses could be lying to yu, etc etc....do u see what i am saying. it is therfore never never never possible to just acccpet something as knowledge....label me crazy if you wish, i relize i am exteding the idea of knowledge to the far extreme, not practical for day to day life, but for the sake of argument.
