Einstein's theory of relativity shattered the world of physics - replacing Newtonian ideas of space and time with bizarre and counterintuitive conclusions, a world of slowing clocks and stretched space, black holes and curved space-time. This introduction explores and explains the theory in an accessible and understandable way.
