Relativity theory has become one of the icons of Twentieth Century science. It’s reckoned to be a difficult subject, taught as a layered series of increasingly difficult mathematics and increasingly abstract concepts. We’re told that relativity theory is supposed to be this complicated and counter-intuitive. But how much of this historical complexity is really necessary? Can we bypass the interpretations and paradoxes and pseudoparadoxes of Einstein’s special theory and jump directly to a deeper and more intuitive description of reality?
