It's a very famous concept that was drawn up nigh on 100 years ago and I have no idea what it means or why I should.
Seems the original theory of Special relativity said that if two people are standing looking at each other from across the gulf of space then they cannot say if the other person is moving or not.
Seems reasonable, the gulf of space is a long way to look for somebody.
Then Einstien said that planets etc cause dents in spacetime relative to their weight or gravity or something, and that all things are subject to the same laws of physics no matter what speed they are moving at, and something about the speed of light in a vacuum.
I still don't understand any of this.
