Relativistic mechanics refers to any form of mechanics compatible with either theories of special relativity and general relativity. It is a non-quantum mechanics of a system of particles or of a fluid in cases where some of the velocities are comparable to the speed of light.
Special relativity states that motion is relative and the laws of physics are the same for all experimenters irrespective of their reference frames.

Famous quotes containing the word mechanics:
“the moderate Aristotelian city
Of darning and the Eight-Fifteen, where Euclid’s geometry
And Newton’s mechanics would account for our experience,
And the kitchen table exists because I scrub it.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
