Relativity, then, contains two fundamental and related implications that were to be absorbed into the field concept: first, that the world is an interconnected whole, so that the dichotomies of space and time, matter and energy, gravity and inertia, become nothing more than different aspects of the same phenomena; and second, that there is no such thing as observing this interactive whole from a frame of reference removed from it. Relativity implies that we cannot observe the universe from an Olympian perspective.
