How much modern physics specially space related experiments depends on Relativity theory? Is it totally depended on relativity theory?
Which relativity theory, special or general?
Special usage is widespread - how the sun works, nuclear power, particle physics.
General theory is more narrowly used - black holes. However, GPS usage requires correction for general relativity effect.

If relativity theory is proved false of wrong what will happen? Is there a great change in physics?

relativity starts at the scale of pi mesons
at the photon scale and below to the planck scale there is no relativity.....no relative velocity of physical phenomena.....see more on www.spacelife.si [Moderator: Suspended 10 more days for anti-science.
