Modern relativity is divided into two parts. Special relativity deals with observers in uniform (unaccelerated) motion, whereas general relativity includes accelerated relative motion and gravity. Modern relativity is consistent with all empirical evidence thus far and, in the limit of low velocity and weak gravitation, gives close agreement with the predictions of classical (Galilean) relativity.

A meter stick, for example, is one meter long for everybody, and something that lasts for one second will last one second for everybody. The discovery that the speed of light is the same regardless of the observer's state of motion, however, changed that. Let's use some thought experiments to see why.
