Inhaltsangabe

You want to know how the general and the special theory of relativity really works?
You are wondering whether you have a free will or if everything you do is predetermined?
Maybe you have even read a few books about relativity, but are stuck having to believe whatever they claim without actually understanding why?
Using many illustrations, we explain step-by-step how everything from time dilation to warped space-time is derived from the observations that led to the theory of relativity - without the use of formulas. We will do a deep dive into the fabric of space-time and will conclusively answer the question whether a pre-destined fate exists or whether our free will is making decisions that lead us through this world.
