The best description of this complex subject is contained in a book called "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking. It's outstanding.

The book by Einstein "Relativity" is a good start. But if you really want to understand relativity you need to take some courses on it. Most modern physics course do a good job at describing special relativity. And some E&M course will get into it a little when looking at Maxwelles equations. If you want to understand general relativity you are looking a taking some really high graduate level physics courses. You also need to develop the math required to solve these problems.

In heaven (or hell depending where Einstein is). Because he is possibly the only guy who can explain his theory of relativity correctly. Anybody else would be only relatively correct you see.

what don't you read Relativity: the special and the general theory by albert einstein. It's easily available online!! I hope this answer your problem.

if you are talking about restricted relativity theory you can search online with good results
if you talk about general relativity theory, i suggest you to run an Anlisys II course before

Very few people understand Einstein's Theories in their entirety. You will get a good introduction here

According to this theory, every thing is relative.
The equation equal to MC square is just one of the result of his theory .
I do believe he himself just understood the theory, relatively better then most of the people around him but he always was engrossed in it.
You got it.

The concept is a great challenge for brain and can show you how much the imagination can be pushed in understanding the space and universe.
If you take it seriously, you may go mad.

Honestly, you'd have to be a genius along with having some divine inspiration to understand it "fully".

In the class room where there is a very good teacher to teach you and you are willing to learn/understand.
