“Why can I understand Einstein’s Theory of
Relativity? I have read and reread it several times and I do
not fully understand it. It’s the first time this has happened
to me. Is it so difficult?” Evelyn asked to her father.
David snorted a couple of times and took a long sip of
his coffee.
“Let’s see how you get out of this alive,” Glenn said
as he put the coffee cup back on the table.
“The answer is very simple. You still can understand
the Theory of Relativity because you haven’t mastered
several of its concepts. Some of this concepts are tangible
and measurable, but others are totally abstract and difficult
to assimilate. Anyway, I will answer you by giving the
example of an anecdote that is attributed to Albert Einstein
himself. Are you ready?
“Yes, Dad.”
