Relativity Theory vs Newtonian Physics
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 newtonian physics when working on simulations, game development, robotics, or any application involving physical modeling, such as physics engines in video games (e.
