Applied Relativity: A New Era in Modern Engineering and Metallurgy

The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.It is the fundamental emotion, which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle.Albert EinsteinThis article is intended for Undergraduate and Graduate students as a brief introduction of the potential capabilities of the applied Atomic Theory in the benefit of humankind, as it apply to modern engineering and technology.Although the special theory of relativity was introduced almost a century ago, it is still a fairly new concept.The world had seen some of its positive as well as negative results.Worldwide research, related to relativity, as well as nuclear physics in general, is one of the main topics in modern science.Much research is being done in such areas as Medical Imaging, including CAT scans, MRI and NMR technologies, Radioactive/ Radiometric Dating, and Radiation Detection, just to mention a few.Perhaps the greatest potential of all lies in Nuclear Physic's contribution to saving lives and providing a better and a more secure world.Perhaps, this is the most important goal of all science and engineering.This article discusses the various applications of Dr. Einstein's theory of special relativity in modern engineering, metallurgy, and manufacturing technology, as well as explores it's aspects in future research.In addition, many aspects of modern engineering, not directly related to the science of nuclear physics, are linked very closely, not only in theory, but also in everyday practice, to this remarkable research.
