Einstein’s Relativity

Stephan Meyer tells us about Einstein’s discovery of relativity: why did it happen, and what does it mean? He contrasts the world of relativity with the world of daily experience, and then gets in the pedagogical trenches with us to make sense of it all. This is an accessible explanation of some of the most mind-bending concepts in physics. Meyer than uses relativity to explain the bending of light around massive objects, and the production of gravitational waves by astrophysical objects, recently detected by the LIGO collaboration.
