The philosophical dimension of Einstein's theory of relativity

Abstract

After the previous presentation of the dimensions of this theory, with its private and general parts, lies for us

Stand on the following results:

First / that the opinions that the theory of relativity came with have great philosophical dimensions, represented in the lack of confidence in the sensory empiricism that kept looking at objects and events in space without realizing the close link between space and time.

Secondly, the theory of relativity shed light on concepts in which man did not see anything but the absolute. With this theory, both time and space became relative, and it presented a conception of Newtonian physics represented in that time and space are completely mixed with a continuum called (the spatial-temporal continuum) that is formed. From a relative place and a relative time.
