Preferred term

legal relativity  

Definition(s)

  • A scientific theory may be revolutionary if it reveals that something always regarded as constant is actually variable. Copernicus thus made the revolutionary announcement that the earth is not stationary but revolves around the sun, Darwin that the characteristics of plants and animals are not permanent but evolve over time, and Einstein that time and space are not uniform but change with velocity and the weight of matter. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law & Society: American and Global Perspectives; Relativity, Legal]
