Time is Relative | Minute 1: The Science

Where does it all begin?

Time is the ultimate relativist. It's relative, it's subjective, it's like, totally relative. But have you ever wondered how we got here? Let's dive into the science of time.

According to the theory of general relativity, time is like, totally malleable. It's like a big ol' ball of goo that can be stretched and compressed like a giant rubber band.

But wait, what about the second law? That's like, the one about time being a straight line, right? Nope, that's the law of conservation of momentum, buddy. That's for particles and stuff, not time.

So, where does it all begin? Well, it starts with the grandfather of it all, Albert Einstein. He's the one who said "time is what you make it." And by that, he meant, literally, time is what you make it.
