Dr. Banesh Hoffmann speaks of the years he worked with Einstein at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He explains how Einstein developed his Special Theory of Relativity. Animation illustrates the basic concepts. The concept of space-time is introduced non-mathematically, and two results of the Special Theory of Relativity are discussed - the increase of mass with increased velocity and the famous twin paradox
