Einstein's theory of special relativity results from two statements -- the two basic postulates of special relativity:
The speed of light is the same for all observers, no matter what their relative speeds.
The laws of physics are the same in any inertial (that is, non-accelerated) frame of reference. This means that the laws of physics observed by a hypothetical observer traveling with a relativistic particle must be the same as those observed by an observer who is stationary in the laboratory.
Given these two statements, Einstein showed how definitions of momentum and energy must be refined and how quantities such as length and time must change from one observer to another in order to get consistent results for physical quantities such as particle half-life. To decide whether his postulates are a correct theory of nature, physicists test whether the predictions of Einstein's theory match observations. Indeed many such tests have been made -- and the answers Einstein gave are right every time!

I'm 21 and I believe I grasp the theories of relativity, although as a teen I didn't really until i researched it independently at age 18

I'm a science teacher, so I know of course. But if you really do know it, why are you asking other people? Seems to me like you either want to be a know-it-all and you're the kind of person I love to put down or either you don't know and just want someone to tell you without you having to feel like an idiot...lmao...at any rate, please don't act like this at school unless you truly enjoy being the most ignored person there because people WILL find you quite annoying! Have a great day!

I have a 12 year old grandson, who knows a lot about Uncle Albert and his doodling. Good to hear from you and your interest in science. Keep it up. We have good genes. LOL. No we are not related, we are just fascinated in Einstein and Feynman. Uncle Albert just fits Einstein. Feynman is a little more of a rebel for us to tag him with a name. Maybe the Fonz?
