Hint:
Einstein
When a journalist asked the British astronomer Sir Arthur Eddington [---1---], Eddington considered deeply for a moment and replied: "I am trying to think who the third person is." In fact, the problem with relativity wasn't that it involved a lot of differential equations, Lorentz transformations, and other complicated mathematics (though it did—even Einstein needed help with some of it), but that it was just so [-2-] nonintuitive.
[-3-] what relativity says is that space and time are not absolute, but relative to both the observer and to the thing being observed, [---4---]. We can never accelerate ourselves to the speed of light, and the harder we try (and faster we go) the more [-5-] we will become, relative to an outside observer.
Almost at once popularizers of science tried to [-6-] ways to make these concepts [-7-] a general audience. One of the more successful attempts—[-8-]—was The ABC of Relativity by the mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell. In it, Russell [-9-] an image that has been used many times since. He asked the reader to envision a train 100 yards long moving at 60% of the speed of light. [---10---] If we could hear the passengers on the train speak, their voices would sound slurred and sluggish, like a record played at too slow a speed, and their movements would appear similarly ponderous. Even the clocks on the train would seem to be running at only 4/5 of their normal speed.
