I thought Einstein was a dog ?
I think the particular genius you're both thinking of is actually SOCCERDOG, not Einstein.That probably explains why he was never able to discover a single law that encapsulates all other laws of physics. Too busy burying bones.
Best fiction book on relativity and lightspeed/time travel? - "The Forever War" by Joe Haldeman. Explains it all in simple terms, and manages to be an allegory of the Vietnam War (mad, but true), as well as being a banging bit of action Sci-Fi

Sounds good.

Or space ladders.
Taking Occam's Razor to the problem of aliens etc, meaning that the simple explanation is almost always the most beleivable - there can be but two conclusions, the universe is truly empty apart from us, and is indifferent to our puny attempts at understanding it. Second, there is life out there, but it is f***ing astronomically far away, and will never have the time or the technology to check out an insignificant little piece of rock circling a red dawrf star.
The problem when discussing this is that we will always only ever be able to think in terms of our own understanding of theory and knowledge.
.
there is another reasonable conclusion, that faster than light travel has been discovered and used to visit us. still far fetched that they'd bother to come here though.
