Re: Relativity for the non scientific

"Start at the very beginning, a very good place to start." Julie Andrews, I
indeed it is :)
think
it was, that sang that.
Anyway, here's what you are looking for.

looks interesting but with i see a lot of equations and i am sure they
ain't gonna like that
i was thinking along the lines of discussing some of the consequences
of the theory of relativity that could be appreciated by the layman --
the space time continuum, gravity, etc.
I was planning on leading with the question "Do clocks measure time,
or is time that what clocks measure??!"
