The theory of Relativity of Albert Einstein has revolutionized the scientific world. Even today there are some scientists desperately trying to disprove this Theory of the Greatest Scientist. For simple understand the theory states that Time is Relative. Each heavenly body in the Universe has got its own time. There is an interesting story in ancient mythology which clearly explains this theory. There had been a bitter fight between Gods (angles) and Demons. The lord of Angles was INDRA. In spite of their all might the Angels could not win over the Demons. INDRA comes to know that there is a king named 'MUCHA KUNDA' who can help him in defeating the Demons. He approaches MUCHA KUNDA and seeks his help and requests and invites him to his planet to fight against the demons and to save his planet Heaven just for two days . MUCHA KUNDA accepts the request. He goes to heaven and fights bravely against the Demons and finally the Angels come out victorious. After the victory, the Lord INDIA gives him a rousing welcome and pleases him to the maximum comfort . He even washes the feet of MUCHA KUNDA. Now MUCHA KUNDA seeks permission to leave. But, INDRA requests him to stay for one more day. But, MUCHA KUNDA expresses his inability to stay for one more day and seeks permission to leave the Heaven. LORD INDRA AND HIS WIFE fell flat on the feet of MUCHA KUNDA and ask for excuse. When MUCHA KUNDA asks them why they are feeling so much worried then they say ' Oh! king where do you want to go? What is the use of going to the earth? Even if you go there will be no one to recognize you even. Million and millions of years have already been over on your planet earth. Your three days stay in the heaven is equal to million and million of years of earth. Even your people and even your family is not there. They all have passed away very long time back. Even, your kingdom is not there on the planet earth. So, what is the use and purpose of going there?".....So the story goes like that.. This is what actually the Theory of Relativity of Albert Einstein. Did you like this story?

What does a watch really measure? Does time itself really change, or the watch's ability to measure that time say, up on a high mountain?
We have folk stories that tell us this type of thing too. A most famous one is the story of Rip Van Winkle, who fell asleep in the hills, and awoke twenty years later. He drank something that caused time to float past him somehow. Is time itself relative though, or is it more the measuring instrument that warps it somehow, be it a clock, our body, or any piece of matter? If heaven has its own time, perhaps that is the real time, and all other times are warped somehow for the person linked to this in the environment where they are existing. Was Einstein right then, is time relative, does it exist at all, or is it something else, that perhaps we have not fully discovered yet. The New Agers tell us that there is no such thing as time, all happens now, and yet time, to me anyway,does in fact really exist. What is time then, but our own time line, created by us, like a string within eternity, going around, threading itself to, and through everything else. We are then a part of it all, and see things sequentially so, because of this string which gives time to nothing, or to everything, depending on where we think that we are upon it.
