The [[Theory of Relativity]] has generated a huge following by advocates of moral relativism. The idea of moral relativity exists independently of (and substantially predates) the theory of relativity, but some moral relativists irrelevantly invoke the theory in attempts to lend legitimacy to this version of morality.
