The Breaking Point

The Man Who Saw Time Stand Still


Listen Later

In 1905, a 26-year-old patent clerk imagined riding alongside a beam of light—and in that thought experiment, he shattered our understanding of reality itself. We explore how Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity emerged not from a laboratory, but from pure imagination, and why his radical ideas about space and time were so disturbing that even he struggled to accept all their implications.
