Sample Sentences
还算有点常识呀你,狭义相对论是爱因斯坦在广义相对论发现前十年制定的,当时已令人震惊地揭示了时间的流逝并非绝对,但与牛顿在1687年所阐述的经典引力定律,在许多方面都不一致。
So you do have some general knowledge. Special relativity was defined by Einstein ten years before he came to the theory of general relativity. At that time, he'd already revealed to everyone's surprise that the flow of time was not absolute, but it was also not entirely the same as the classic laws of gravitation which he described in 1687, in many aspects.
