1 of 6 - In 1905, Albert Einstein published the theory of special relativity, which explains how to interpret motion between different inertial frames of reference β that is, places that are moving at constant speeds relative to each other.
Einstein explained that when two objects are moving at a constant speed as the relative motion between the two objects, instead of appealing to the ether as an absolute frame of reference that defined what was going on. If you and some astronaut, Amber, are moving in different spaceships and want to compare your observations, all that matters is how fast you and Amber are moving with respect to each other.
