Hey, thanks for the plug Naita.

[Tom’s October 2011 post resurrecting a then five year old “My Problems With Relativity” thread to tell us relativity is rubbish and we should all just read his website and be reassured that comprehending the universe doesn’t require any counterintuitive concepts.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-problems-with-relativity/388750/53)

You forgot to name it and link it. Here it is :- [http://problemswithrelativity.com/](http://problemswithrelativity.com/)

There is some speculation in there, but there is also some good hard science.

Thanks,

Tom Hollings
