'''Relativistic programming''' ('''RP''') is a style of [[concurrent programming]] where instead of trying to avoid conflicts between readers and writers (or writers and writers in some cases) the algorithm is designed to tolerate them and get a correct result regardless of the order of events. Also, relativistic programming algorithms are designed to work without the presences of a global order of events. That is, there may be some cases where one thread sees two events in a different order than another thread (hence the term relativistic because in [[Special relativity|Einstein's theory of special relativity]]{{citation needed|reason=This is not referenced in the source|date=December 2015}} the order of events is not always the same to different viewers). This essentially implies working under [[causal consistency]] instead of a stronger model.
