Relativity Theory vs Classical Mechanics
Developers should learn Relativity Theory when working on projects involving high-precision systems, such as GPS technology, satellite communications, or astrophysics simulations, where relativistic effects are non-negligible meets developers should learn classical mechanics when working on physics-based simulations, game engines, robotics, or any application involving realistic motion and interactions. Here's our take.

Relativity Theory
Nice PickDevelopers should learn Relativity Theory when working on projects involving high-precision systems, such as GPS technology, satellite communications, or astrophysics simulations, where relativistic effects are non-negligible
Pros
- +It's also valuable for those in quantum computing or advanced physics-based software to grasp foundational concepts that underpin modern physics and engineering applications
- +Related to: physics-fundamentals, quantum-mechanics
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Classical Mechanics
Developers should learn classical mechanics when working on physics-based simulations, game engines, robotics, or any application involving realistic motion and interactions
Pros
- +It is crucial for implementing collision detection, rigid body dynamics, and particle systems in video games, as well as for modeling physical systems in scientific computing and engineering software
- +Related to: physics-simulation, game-physics
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Relativity Theory if: You want it's also valuable for those in quantum computing or advanced physics-based software to grasp foundational concepts that underpin modern physics and engineering applications and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Classical Mechanics if: You prioritize it is crucial for implementing collision detection, rigid body dynamics, and particle systems in video games, as well as for modeling physical systems in scientific computing and engineering software over what Relativity Theory offers.
