This is an interesting explanation of relativity.
If you have an iTunes store account and a spare $10 you can get Brian Greene's Fabric of the Cosmos NOVA special which also has a fantastic explanation of relativity theory. It is well worth watching. Your local PBS station also runs it from time to time.

"People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)
