Description: Portrays the relative relationship of motion and time with illustrations based upon both common experience and scientific theory, devoting principal attention to the influence of Einstein. Recounts earlier beliefs concerning motion and time, highlighting the impact of Copernicus' ideas. Develops Einstein's suggestion that motion, time, and space have no absolute existence but are relative factors which vary according to particular circumstances. Includes a fantasy sequence to illustrate the relativity of weight, direction, time, and distance.
