In this episode, we explore the fundamental shift that Einstein’s theory of relativity brought to our understanding of time and space. In classical mechanics, time and space were seen as absolute—unchanging, fixed frameworks through which objects moved. But Einstein shattered that view, showing that both time and space are relative and can stretch, bend, and warp depending on the observer’s motion. We’ll explain the key differences between classical mechanics and relativity, focusing on how Einstein redefined our understanding of the universe. By the end of this episode, you’ll see how these revolutionary ideas paved the way for modern physics and technology

In this episode, we dive into some of the most famous thought experiments that Einstein used to explain his groundbreaking ideas on relativity. From imagining himself riding alongside a beam of light to observing a train moving at high speeds, Einstein’s mental experiments revealed how time, space, and the speed of light are interconnected. We’ll break down these thought experiments and explain how they helped Einstein develop his theory of special relativity. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how a train and a light beam became key to reshaping our view of the universe.

In this episode, we explore one of the most mind-bending aspects of Einstein’s theory: the speed of light and its role as the ultimate speed limit of the universe. Why is the speed of light so important in both special and general relativity? We’ll break down the idea that light always travels at the same speed—regardless of how fast you’re moving—and what this means for time, space, and reality itself. You’ll also learn how the constant speed of light led to groundbreaking conclusions about time dilation and length contraction. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why nothing in the universe can exceed this cosmic speed limit and how it fundamentally connects to Einstein’s theories

In this episode, we kick off our journey through Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, starting with an accessible overview of its two parts: special relativity and general relativity. You’ll learn how Einstein’s ideas redefined our understanding of the universe by showing that time and space are not separate, but deeply connected. We'll discuss key concepts like time dilation, the famous equation E=mc², and how mass bends spacetime to create gravity. By the end of this episode, you'll have a grasp of why relativity is one of the cornerstones of modern physics and what you can expect to learn in upcoming episodes.
