The video explores Einstein's theory of special relativity, focusing on its two postulates: the constancy of the speed of light and the uniformity of physical laws in inertial frames. It explains time dilation, where time ticks differently based on motion, and the twin paradox, where a traveling twin ages slower due to acceleration. The video also touches on general relativity, linking time dilation to gravitational fields, as depicted in the movie Interstellar.
