I was listening to the new Issacson biography of Einstein (audible.com reccommends...) on the way to New York on the train. The General Theory of relativity (distinct from the Special Theory of Relativity, of course) was dervied from a thought experiment involving a train, a clocktower, a person on the platform, and a person inside the train. Which is in place? Which is in motion?
