Which of the following describes the impact of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity on the Modern era?
A
There is no such thing as universal time, and thus experience runs very differently from man to man.
B
Universal time exists and affects all members of the human race equally, and this becomes an argument against social inequality in the Modern era.
C
Chronological time does not exist at all, and is merely an illusion created by the reality that humans age and die.
D
The speed of light must be inconsistent.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The implications of Einstein’s most famous theory are profound. If the speed of light is always the same, it means that an astronaut going very fast relative to Earth will measure the seconds ticking by more slowly than an Earthbound observer will.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the field of physics, relativity improved the science of elementary particles and their fundamental interactions, along with ushering in the nuclear age. With relativity, cosmology and astrophysics predicted extraordinary astronomical phenomena such as neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational waves.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to the theory of general relativity, matter causes space to curve. It is posited that gravitation is not a force, as understood by Newtonian physics, but a curved field (an area of space under the influence of a force) in the space-time continuum that is actually created by the presence of mass.

Detailed explanation-4: -Einstein’s theory of relativity deals with Newtonian physics when energies or velocities are near the speed of light. Relativity is usually thought of as modern physics since it was developed at the start of the 20th century and could only be tested in the realm available to scientists by high technology.
