________________ Anekantvad and Its Importance In Life Part-1 of the truth or reality which teaches us that all sentient beings and ideas of this universe are related to each other and hence every universal phenomenon is true from a particular view point and false from another view point.

Development of optics and electrodynamics led to the rejection of the concept of absolute time, absolute simultaneity and absolute space.
