Theory of Relativity: Einstein in Simple Words

This microcourse explains special and general relativity in clear, non-mathematical language. Students will learn how time dilation works, why gravity is described as spacetime curvature, and how gravitational lensing can bend light. The course also connects relativity to real evidence such as GPS and LIGO. After completing it, students will be able to explain key ideas like the twin paradox, gravitational time effects, and black hole basics in everyday terms.
