Relativity
Part-2
Generation of New Frame of reference
A reference Frame can be defined as an observational perspective that is used to study any event or happening in physical world, every theory that relates with motion or kinematics and even electromagnetism may compulsorily require the reference frame. And so does theory of special relativity. The difference which one can comprehend in this particular theory is the removal of Galilean reference frames or the inertial reference frames that are used in Newtonian physics by non-inertial reference frames.

| Aether |
This was sort of a problem,the problem arose when physicist studied the principle of relativity which states that their is nothing as preferred inertial frame but we know that the concept of 'Aether'
was developed after the discovery of electromagnetic waves in the early late 19th century. This concept stated that the space is filled with an unknown material that is called aether which acts as medium for propagation of electromagnetic waves, but the properties of the aether were considered absurd and the concept fell due to results of Michelson- Morley experiment.
With the decline, the concept of absolute reference frame that supported every thing that scientist had discovered about electromagnetic propagation also fell. At last Einstein was the one that provided the true solution to this problem by dissolving the concept of absoluteness and aether by relativity.

| These are the new frames where the non-primed frame is at rest and the primed one is moving relative to that of the rest one |
Einstein used non-inertial relative reference frames and solved the problem, the concepts of Lorentz transformation were also used to connect the two reference frames relative to each other. Acceleration, velocity distance and time were hence proved relative in the two relative frames of reference.
