Many of us who have studied physics remember an equation that states that force equals mass times acceleration (f = ma) for a mass being accelerated by a constant force. We also remember how strange it was that an almost identical equation, force equals mass times the gravitational acceleration constant (f = mg) was used to determine the weight of a non-accelerating object in a gravitational field. This similarity (or relationship) between "a" and "g" forms the conceptual basis for general relativity.
hmm... perhaps I have made a mistake. I thought I read an article on general relativity two days ago were it said that time travelled at the speed of light.
I must of been mixed up (I was rather sleepy)
I'm unable to find the article now.
Also;

I have no clue what that quote is getting at... (remember I have never done Physics before except when I was 15 and not paying attention).
I read the article. Didn't help me to much in my understanding of the theory of relativity.
I do more research on the subject to better understand everything.
