Abstract

Einstein proposed special theory of relativity in 1905 and general theory of relativity in 1905. According to him, gravity is caused by matter bending space and time, and that the two are intrinsically linked as 'space-time' fabric. Speed of light is always the same for everyone. To search a static object in this universe is futile effort. Time is the forty dimension of length breadth and height of space. According to him space-time fabric can be bent and wrapped, so we can travel in the universe with any speed. This theory helps to understand the existence of black holes and wormholes. Albert Einstein's theory of relativity opened a whole new world of possibilities in the early twentieth century. Not only science but literature was also highly influence by relativity. William Faulkner, Robert Frost, William Carlos Williams, and Louis Untermeyer imaginatively incorporated facts of theory of relativity into their work. These writers also used relativity theory to shape both the content and form of their work. Critics have also recognized the impact of relativity theory on modernist literature. Urdu literature was also influence greatly by new trends of relativity. Urdu poets, while describing time, space, universe, matter and cosmological facts, borrowed vision of relativity in their poetry for strengthening scientific vision of the reader. This article is in recognition to those poets who are endeavoring to enrich Urdu poetry with variety of scientific knowledge.
