The General Theory of Relativity
The principle of relativity which shook the whole world was an epoch-making milestone in the history of science development. It is said that Albert Einstein, the founder of relativity, once was asked by a group of young students in his old age. They wanted to know what Einstein thought of the relativity.
He drew an analogy vividly and humorously. He said smilingly: " When you have been talking with your beautiful girl friend for two hours, you will feel that it seems only one minute; but when you are near by the hottest fireside for only one minute, you will fee that it seems two hours. This is the principle of relativity.」
