Today's Quotation

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was one of the most brilliant scientists of the modern era, and as such dealt in ideas and concepts that can make a layperson scratch their head in confusion. Here's his attempt to render one of his most famous theories a bit more comprehensible:

"When you are courting a nice girl an hour
seems like a second. When you sit on a red-
hot cinder a second seems like an hour.
That's relativity."
