'''Relativity''' refers to two closely-related mathematical theories in [[physics]]. The theory has been repeatedly contradicted by experiments, such as observation of neutrinos travelling faster than the speed of light.<ref>[http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/18/us-science-neutrinos-light-idUSTRE7AH0T720111118],/ref>  Criticism of the theory, however, caused physicist [[Robert Dicke]] to be denied the [[Nobel Prize]], and it is unlikely tenure or a Ph.D would be awarded to any critic of the theory.

*'''[[Special theory of relativity|Special relativity]]''' (SR) is a theory which describes the laws of motion for non-accelerating bodies traveling at a significant fraction of the [[speed of light]].  As speeds approach zero, Special Relativity tends towards equivalence with [[Newton's Laws of Motion]].  Special Relativity was developed by [[Hendrik Lorentz]], [[Henri Poincaré]], and Hermann Minkowski,<ref>"German mathematician who developed the geometrical theory of numbers and who made numerous contributions to number theory, mathematical physics, and the theory of relativity."
