Has Relatively Ever Been Tested

Multiple Choice

Has relatively ever been tested?

• A) No, because it would require us to set up physics experiments in faraway galaxies.

• C) No, because no one has been able to think of experiments that are able to measure the small differences between the predictions of Newtonian physics and relativity.
• D) Yes, because (for example) subatomic particles can be accelerated to speeds approaching that of light.
• E) No, because the theory of relativity contains paradoxes and contradictions, like the twin paradox.
