He realized that all things have relative velocities and so depending on you velocity in space, time is either greater or less compared to another.
This means like other people say that light can bend, but this is due to it passing through strong gravitational fields as a result of this theorem.
Hope that helps.

He had a couple of things. He came up with the equation E=mc(squared). Basically that the energy (E) of an object equals its mass (m) times light (c) squared. I'm not sure how, but with this he proved nothing can go faster than the speed of light. At least with thrust in its current form (like jets and rockets). There is a theory that if you can make an explosion in subspace (I won't go into what subspace is, but it is a form of space we can't see), the explosion will move faster than light and you can ride it to go faster than the speed of light.
With that theory, he also came up with a theory that still has not been disproven, which is that we live in a multiverse (multiple universes, parallel universes). I don't fully understand the math here either, but basically we currently live in a four-dimensional universe (height, length, width, time). However, the math only works with 10 dimensions, or 26 dimensions. Since we've only accounted for 4, there has to be at least 6 other dimensions. And there may even be as many as 22 other dimensions; and all of these dimensions would be split in various ways among other universes.
Most scientists who are working on this theory believe this means parallel universes. I believe this is a possibility, or this could also explain where "heaven" is. It might explain (provided you believe in it, I happen to but not everyone does) where all the angels live and why we don't usually see them. The Heaven theory I just said, however, was not one of Einstein's. He said the parallel universe theory.
Finally, Einstein was one of the principal scientists on the Manhattan Project (the first nuclear weapon). His ideas and theories, especially on energy, were what brought about the first nuclear weapons. This brought in the atomic age and helped propel America to the forefront of world superpowers.

OK for the win.
Einstein
created a way to have a common theorem make all forms of available energy. (at the time) become relative.
What this means is that kinetic, electromagnetic, heat, etc
are now measurable and comparable in numbers.
This means that any scientific example
in which there is a relation between light, energy, mechanics, what ever; it's all able to be pre tested with equations.
He also theorized that there are waves that make up a gravitational field. If you were to take a look at the solar system with the mind set that all the planets were resting, partially submerged in a wave field (like water ripples)
coming from the sun. as the waves ripple, the planets course around a center, which gives explanation to how gravity to works.
To further understand these mechanics, look up Stephen Hawking ("a brief history of the universe")
And remember, as scientist these are all theories.
Atomic energy, being unable to establish a constant to measure a reaction with, partially disproves E=mc2

Theory of Relativity.
Einstein also believed in the possibility of teleportation and actually conducted trans-atlantic experiments with ships and sailors.

He encouraged President Truman to use the A-bomb. By the time the bomb was ready, Germany had already surrendered. Einstein was horrified that it was used on Japan.

He made us realize that light can bend. "Imagination is more important than knowledge," was one of his favorite sayings.
