(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I said I would write it, so here it is. I derive and explain everything you've ever wanted to know (and probably more) about Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. I had originally planned to make it a forum post, but it seemed easier to just upload it as a pdf. As long as you have decent thinking skills and high school-level algebra experience, it should be easy enough to understand.

I wish I could write something similar about General Relativity, but the math involved (tensor algebra/calculus, Lagrangians, etc.) is well above what I am willing to attempt to teach.

Out of curiosity, what got you to come on NGU with your intelligence you have? If you don't mind me asking that is.

Gaming, most probably. (Looking at his consoles)

I would give this a read, but it's most probably a subject I wouldn't come close to understanding unfortunately.

Edit: I'm going to download it and attempt to understand it, and maybe look up simpler explanations I don't understand.

I've been on Outsider's forums since late 2007. I originally found exohax (the name of his old site before it was NGB) when I was looking up glitches for Resistance: Fall of Man.

Regardless, I'm not really that smart; I just enjoy learning things like this. Making an attempt to teach it just solidifies it in my brain.

So in reality it's just gaming that brought you here, I still find it funny how gaming can bring so many different people together.
