Relativity

Einstein's theory of relativity revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity. It tells us that space and time are intertwined into a four-dimensional fabric called spacetime. When mass or energy is introduced, spacetime curves around it, creating what we perceive as gravity. Think of spacetime as a trampoline and a heavy ball as a planet. The ball warps the trampoline, and any smaller balls roll towards it, simulating gravity.
