Don’t get too comfortable: the world is weird!

Two things that happen at the same time… happen at the same time, right?
Wrong (according to Einstein and most scientists today).
And if I drive past you, I see your time moving more slowly than mine… but you see my time flowing more slowly! What?

You will never need to understand Relativity. But if you enjoy trying to wrap your head around mind-blowing, confusing, and weird stuff, (and even if you don’t), then try to understand these:

Simultaneity:
 

Time:

If these have whet your appetite and you want to dig deeper into even weirder stuff, this site does a great job of explaining it. But keep this in mind:

Before leading an expedition to prove Einstein’s General Relativity, the physicist Sir Arthur Edington was asked “Is it true that only three people in the world understand relativity?”

Eddington reportedly responded, “Who’s the third?”

What is the weirdest thing about the world you can think of? (Science or otherwise – maybe its your neighbours.)
