How do I explain this theory to a child without getting myslef too hyped up about it?
I got as far as the univers expanding and time dilating.
Anyone here with a simplifier?
Thanks!

Seriously guys (Mutatis, Anton), why bother bringing that up here.
Of course I can. Who better to blame, really? Darwin made it quite clear for millions of people. If one person doesn't understand it, the fault is with that one person more than it is with Darwin.
I felt it relevant to remind people what kind of reactions they'd get if they actually decided to take the time to truly explain the theory of relativity to cacian.
