Theory of Relativity
The Theory of Relativity is like when you are on the back of a truck with your friend and the truck is going 50 miles per hour. You and your friend are playing catch and you throw the ball 20 miles per hours at your friend and your friend sees it going 20 miles per hour since your friend is relative to the truck. A person on the street is watching you and sees you throw the ball but sees it going 70 miles per hour because the person is not relative to the truck so he sees the ball going 70 miles per hour. Also it's if you're in a car going 70 miles per hour on a straight highway and you throw a ball up and down in the car. You see the ball going up and down but not moving forward or backward because the ball is relative to the car.
