Einstein Quote by Bill Bryson
““In essence what relativity says is that space and time are not absolute but relative both to the observer and the thing being observed, and the faster one moves the more pronounced these effects will become. We can never accelerate ourselves to the speed of light, and the harder we try(the faster we go) the more distorted we become, relative to an outside observer.””
About This Quote
The quote explains that space and time are relative, changing with speed and perspective, and that approaching light speed leads to increasing distortion for observers.
In simple terms: Space and time change with speed and viewpoint.
