Rooftop Theory of Relativity

The "Rooftop Theory of Relativity" was created in the early summer of 2007. It is named such because at the time of its creation the theorists were conversing on the rooftop of their residence. The theory is rather simple and is described as follows: "Everything is relative."
The Rooftop Theory of Relativity is applicable and appropriate for all occasions.

relativity

Interconnection

Being dependent or intertwined with another event or object that is just as dependant as the other.

Cause and effect.
ERIC
I punch you in the face, you'll punch back, right?

VALLEN
Yeah.

ERIC
Your hitting me back is reative to me hitting you in the face.

-ALSO-

A Bank owner is very hard on a Farming family. The family is forced out of their house and loose everything, living in poverty. The Banker prospers with their loss. (1)

For 20 years, the family lives in poverty, barely surviving. Eventualy, one of the family members is forced to rob a bank to survive. The bank that is robbed happens to be the same bank which forced thim into poverty. (2)

The Banker looses everything from the robbery. He resorts to drugs (3) and one day, in a drug impared state, he decides to go and buy more drugs. He has a car accident. (4)

From the car accident, he is paralyzed from the neck down and cannot speak for the rest of his life. (5)

1. The Banker's prosperity is relative to the families suffering.

2. The bank robbery is relative to the Banker's being hard on the family.

3. The drugs are relative to the bank robbery.

4. The car accident is relative to the drugs.

5. the paralysis is relative to the car accidsent

In conclusion, the man's paralysis is relative to his being hard on the family, he bought it upon himself.

Relativity Harnessing

The art of exploiting the warped relationship between space and time described by Einstein's theories for practical gain. It means deliberately using time dilation (where time slows down near massive objects or at high speeds) for purposes like extended travel or computing, manipulating gravitational lensing for perfect telescopes, or leveraging frame-dragging effects for energy generation. This isn't just observing relativity; it's putting it on the payroll, turning the universe's stretching of spacetime into a utility. It's the ultimate hack for a species tired of being a slave to a single, universal clock.
Example: "The rich tourists don't just visit the black hole; they use relativity harnessing. They park their yacht in a close, stable orbit where time crawls, party for a subjective week, and return to find a century has passed and their compound interest has turned them into trillionaires."

Monochromatic'reativity

A contraction of the two words Monochromatic and Creativity.. Since no words are actually shortened It's probably not a contraction but something else entirely. But who cares.

Monochromatic'reativity is Variations in art pieces which are of one color, but any shade of that color.
Ryan Laxamana was no Monochromatic'reativity, he would rather use many different colors.

shepard fairey OBAMA paintings (red white and blue) are NOT Monochromatic'reative

Trash Relativity

This term is used to describe the common mentality, usually held by mildly trashy people, that everyone trashier than them is indeed trashy but they fail to recognize their own trashiness.
I'm going to burn this plastic in a barrel behind my house.

That's trashy.

I know I'm not trashy. People in the ghetto are trashy

You have a case of trash relativity my friend.

You really shouldn't walk over furniture like that.

Why?

It ruins the furniture over time and it's trashy

Omg It's not trashy

Spacetime Relativity

Einstein's revolutionary theory that space and time are not absolute but relative to the observer's motion and gravitational field. In spacetime relativity, there is no universal "now"; simultaneity is relative, time dilates with speed, and space contracts with motion. The theory reveals that we don't live in a fixed background of space with time flowing uniformly; we live in a four-dimensional fabric where space and time are woven together, and different observers can legitimately disagree about whether events happen at the same time or how long things take. Spacetime relativity explains why GPS satellites must adjust for relativistic effects or you'd end up in the next county, why astronauts age slightly slower than earthbound twins, and why the universe is stranger than common sense imagines. It's the physics of "it depends on how fast you're moving."
Example: "He tried to explain spacetime relativity to his boss after being late: 'Time is relative. For you, waiting in the office, time moved slowly. For me, running here, time moved fast. We experienced different durations.' His boss said the clock on the wall disagreed. He said the clock was stationary; he'd been moving. His boss said to move faster next time."
