In the early 1900s, Albert Einstein developed an idea - called Relativity - that changed our understanding of reality. It explained how both space and time were flexible - and how the Universe was made of a four-dimensional fabric called space-time. This single idea gave us a new way to understand the force of gravity, explained how the stars were born and introduced us to the concept of the big bang.

This two-part BBC documentary explores how two of the most famous scientists of the 20th Century transformed our understanding of the Universe - thus changing the world.
