Basic relativity

Today, i am going to try my best to explain Einstein's theory of relativity.

First of all, there are two kinds of relativity: general and special. Basic relativity is the theory that gravity isn't a force, like Newton thinks, but rather a distortion of space caused by the mass of an object.

Let me explain: Many people think that space is a place with nothing in it, but that's not true. If you go into a room made of matter, and you spin around in circles inside of it, you know that you are spinning since you feel your arms pulling outwards. Now,let's take away every single piece of matter in the universe down to the atom, except for you. You are still spinning since your arms are still being pulled outwards, but how is that possible? How are you still spinning if there is nothing to spin in? It's because space is also a thing.

Space can stretch, bend, and twist just like a real piece of fabric. So if space meets an object, it bends around it. This is what gravity actually is, instead of a force that's pulling things to the ground. The more mass an object has, the more space bends around it, and therefore it has more gravity (that's why your mom is so attractive (literally (she's fat))).

Special relativity

Special relativity is the theory that no matter your speed, the speed of light and the laws of physics stay the same to everyone. The faster you go, the slower time moves to you. But lightspeed always stays the same. Also, the gravitational pull stays just as strong, since physics also stay the same.
