I've never really understood the theory of relativity, but then again, I never gave it much thought. The video below has been created to generate some thought about the topic:
I don't suppose I'll head for Relativity, the Special and the General Theory: A Popular Exposition [530.11 EIN], written by the Professor himself, but I might start off a little more simply with a book written for children such as Albert Einstein and Relativity by Derek J. Raine [J B EIN]. Then I might ease into it with something like Einstein's Clocks, Poincaré's Maps: Empires of Time by Peter Galison [529 GAL], which is described as "part history, part science, part adventure, part biography, part meditation on the meaning of modernity..." What more could you ask for?
