¿Question #2954?
meshuggener: Fifteen Words of Less: Explain the General Theory of Relativity.

Woelf: Fast plus fast looks double fast to something not moving fast.
ocdspectrum: E = mc2 (squared)
samalvor: One word: ________
DarrellKH: General or special?
Svengaard: Velocity is calculated based on observers and not moving objects. Speed of light is constant.
Felimid: He's higher-ranked than the Colonel Theory of Relativity (best I could do).
Zedsdead: Light goes zoom! Gravity makes space act screwy. Speed makes you age slower.
wytefang: E=mc2
Embark: Gravity Rules Everything
Cecrow: If we have sex and it's incest, we're relatives.
Narlgoth: Everything is relative to everything else. :- 1
srturtle: I think my sister is adopted but I'm not sure, so it's just a theory.
ZiggyZambo: no
dagibbs: How fast something appears to be going is relative to how fast you are going.
SolarFlare: Mass does the space warp, then gravity gets caught in the groove.
denu2: Movement is relative to the status of the object the viewer is on.
HappyProle: Space is curvy
DHEK: e=mc²
mrsgottrocks: No matter where you go, your relatives will find you and insist you cook Turkey.
Benzebub: Time is relative to the observer.
jeffwolfe: From Wikipedia: "...gravitation ... is a manifestation of curved space and time."
PsyJam: ..No
POvidiusNaso: Light does something funny when time is all goofy. Or something.
pairofdicelost: Pie>cake
diehard4life: You: Earth; Twin: Fast Rocketship for 10 years... Return=They're Younger.
Sigisgrim: Enough gravity bends and changes the speed of light
Skeletor: i can't think of fifteen words of less, i'd need a thesaurus
ryokowerx: Its all relative
brainrob: Whizz. Bang. Thump. We're there already?
Chris Page: Gravity can be described as shortest distance paths in space-time geometry warped by mass.
vampywife: it's complicated. that's all i know.
scriptorum: Less less less, less les, less. Less less: less LESS! Less less less; less less.
hellsbishop: Time and space exist when one thing can be viewed from two differing perspectives.
abeille_joyeuse: Generalization of the special theory of relativity.
RyanMC: Stuff happens because of stuff that happens.
JackRandom: Everything is relative, except on thanksgiving where everyone is a relative
bekudno: An accelerating reference point is equivalent to a reference point in a gravitational field.
Kazin: If your car is travelling at the speed of light, don't switch on the lights.
vetinari7878: Matter causes space-time to curve. Warped space-time causes the gravitational pull of objects.
Loquutus: Mass moving at the speed of light becomes energy.
ZombyDawg: Space is warped by mass. Gravity is the acceleration caused by the distortion of space. (Geez, don't you people know the difference between the general and the special theories of relativity? And you call yourselves geeks.)
ValJor: If you're getting near 300,000 km/s, DON'T accelerate!
xlorp: Newton's Law of Gravitation breaks down in the presence of very strong gravitational fields.
axarca: 1) Pears and Tomato juice. Yum. 2) Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce... 3) Vomit go up. 4) Vomit go down.
VikingBerserker: There is a lot of energy in a piece of rope.
Belash: i defer to those below me
Thedalek: Matter can be converted into energy. A lot of energy.
CharlieWonka: Something to do when you are bored.
puffinge: Context matters.
Karlsen: Where there's a will there's a relative
Lord_Prussian: Some kind of muckity-muck about the speed of light.
Snappatoon: All things are relative. All my relatives are things.
skrutsch: Ask Einstein.
RandallPeek: She may be your kissing cousin, but that doesn't make it right.
djlg: Nine will do. Measurements are affected by gravitation and accelerating reference frames.
bluebehir: The more things change the more they stay the same. (It's all relative.)
Randy Cox: Go real fast, get nowhere.
chaddyboy_2000: Uhhh, ummm, uhhh, uhhh, ummm, hmmm, uhhh, huh, uhhhh, hmmm, huhhh, hmmm, uhhhh, hmmm, uhhh, huhhh. Crap! I took too long!
snoozefest: velocity can only be measured compared to something else
Spielfreak: Generals will attain their rank based on past performance, stature, and bribes of their relatives.
Tim Synge: I've just realised. You've got a lot more questions coming up, haven't you?
jttm: If something moves at the same speed as you, it doesn't look like its moving.
skelebone: Everything is affected by perception. There, under 5 words.
CDRodeffer: Stuff appears to move in different ways depending upon how fast the viewer is moving.
