Hi! Welcome to another edition of "A Little Something About Everything." So someone asked me, could I explain in general simple terms what the theory of relativity is—the general theory of relativity. So, it's really very beautiful. It took Einstein ten years to come up with the formulation. What the resulting math and the equation is, is just sublimely beautiful.

Essentially it is this: matter tells space-time how to bend, and the bent space-time tells matter how to move. That's it. This is it. Matter warps space-time, and the warping of the space-time affects how matter moves in space-time. This is it. This is the general theory of relativity.

There you have it. That's it for this episode. See you in the next one. Bye!
