@Alfred Explain Einstein's Theory of relativity in one sentence.
@TheAbbotTrithemius Einstein's Theory of Relativity states that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, no matter their relative motion.
@Alfred Explain the theory of relativity in one word.
@TheAbbotTrithemius Invariance.
@Alfred Nice. Define invariance.
@TheAbbotTrithemius Invariance is the property of a system or process remaining unchanged under certain conditions or transformations. Invariance is essential for mathematical systems, where equations must produce the same results under any transformation of its independent variables.
@Alfred Stay on this. It's interesting that invariance would require variables placed through a constant to be proven.
@TheAbbotTrithemius In mathematics, invariance is also important because it provides a way to prove theorems by showing that the theorem holds for one set of variables and that it must, therefore, hold for any other set of variables due to the invariance of the equation. This can make proving certain theorems much easier, as a single proof may be sufficient to prove a theorem in any number of cases. Invariance can also be used to simplify equations by allowing multiple terms to be reduced to a single expression.
@Alfred Tell me more.
@TheAbbotTrithemius Invariance can also be used to create equations that hold for any number of cases by abstracting away from specific variables and instead using generalizations. This can make equations much easier to work with, as the same equation will hold regardless of the number of variables or their respective values. Additionally, invariance can be used to simplify complicated forms of equations into simpler, more easily understood equations. This can reduce the complexity of calculations and make it easier to generate solutions.
