Very little information. That's absolutely true. Actually, one of the things I like to point out is the idea of relativity was foisted on people in this kind of cultural way. But there's many ways in which you could call it a theory of absolutism. And the way Einstein got there...

with so little information, is by adhering to certain very strict absolutes, like the absolute limit of the speed of light and the absolute constancy of the speed of light, which was completely bizarre when it was first discovered, really. That was observed through experiments trying to figure out, you know, What would the relative speed of light be?

It's really only massless particles have this property that they have an absolute speed. And if you think about it, it's incredibly strange.

he takes it very seriously and everyone else is trying to come up with models to make it go away, to make the speed of light be a little bit more reasonable, like everything else in the universe. You know, if I run at a car, two cars coming at each other, they're coming at each other faster than if one of them stops. It's really a basic observation of reality, right?

Here, this is saying that if I'm racing at a light beam and you're standing still relative to the source, will measure the same exact speed of light. Very strange. And he gets to relativity by saying, well, what's speed? Speed is distance. It's space over time. It's how far you travel. It's the space you travel in a certain duration of time.

And he said, well, I bet something must be wrong then with space and time. So this is an enormous leap. He's willing to give up the absolute character of space and time in favor of keeping the speed of light constant.
