The big deal is that it completely revolutionized the concepts of space, time and gravity. None of what we experience is real, it is only because we move at low velocities compared to light that we cannot see the nature of the world as it really is. The theories of relativity exposed those true natures.

Besides being a work of genius that allows us to explain the workings of many things that can not be explained any other way, how about the nuclear bomb. That should be big enough for you.
