The concept of “now” and simultaneity isn’t as straightforward as you might expect. There is no central clock for the universe that forces everyone to exist on the same world line. No two people live exactly in parallel. Join Standley Lake Stargazing for a look at how Einstein described the strange behavior of space and time with his theory of relativity!

Hosted by Ron Havermann and Aric Vyhmeister
