Einstein Scientific Relativity

In the following, I will argue that Einstein’s discovery of the theory of special relativity was ultimately positive in terms of its benefits. First, Einstein’s discovery changed our understanding of space and time. Second, Einstein’s discovery has a positive effect on people’s daily lives, for example, the global positioning system (GPS). Third, Einstein’s theory of special relativity is a scientific theory, which according to dictionary.com is “a coherent group of propositions formulated to explain a group of facts or phenomena in the natural world and repeatedly confirmed through experiment or observation, (“scientific theory”)” Einstein’s theory was proposed with good intentions, Einstein has no control over how people would use his …show more content…
One should not be complacent about obtaining knowledge. If one is complacent, obtaining new knowledge will be difficult which will lead to no new applications, with no new technology one is unable to make new discoveries. Without the possibility of expanding human knowledge of the universe, the world would be bleak and unmotivated. For the second issue, technology does not make people lazy it is the way one uses technology that makes people lazy. Advancement in technology allows people to do things faster with less effort. How one uses the spare time technology has saved, is the important part. As for the final issue, life is how one makes of it. Assuming every person is morally virtuous, there would be no fear of nuclear fallout. If one cannot assume every person is morally virtuous and still worry, one should believe in their government to prevent possible nuclear war.
