Special Relativity
A theory where measurements of distance and time are relative to the observer to keep the speed of light constant for everyone. It is a founding axiom for general relativity and has been extensively tested.

Lex Fridman
Einstein's theory that describes the relationship between space and time, shown to be a potential emergent property of causal invariant rewrite rules in Stephen Wolfram's physics model.

Special Relativity: This Is Why You Misunderstand It
Sabine Hossenfelder
Einstein's theory that deals with the relationship between space and time, particularly at constant velocities, and introduces spacetime and time dilation.

Tim Ferriss
Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity, which Ricardo Semler used to teach six-year-olds the 'magic of accumulated wisdom', using a thought experiment about traveling to the edge of the universe and returning to the same village.
