    * Physics is all relative. This theme resonates through Einstein's special and general theories of relativity. One focus is on the physics of time, which alters throughout the universe and doesn't maintain a uniform structure; the speed of an object can dictate the time-flow of and on that object. A common manipulation of this exists within GPS satellites. These satellites take into account variations in time-flow between the satellite and the GPS receiver.…
