About this episode

This episode explores Einstein's theory of relativity and its implications for understanding space-time and light.

Let's journey to sleep with science as we learn more about Einstein's radical new theory of relativity, why geometry is physics when it comes to space-time, and how light spectrums reveal directions of travel. Is it difficult to understand? Eh, it's all relative. Help us stay ad-free and 100% listener-supported!
