Abstract
- The article focuses on the special theory of relativity which physicist Albert Einstein discusses the case of two identical clocks initially at rest in an inertial system. The special theory of relativity deals with systems moving at uniform velocity with respect to one another. It predicts a time dilation phenomenon in which a clock in one system appears to run slow to an observer in another.
