it is the notion that the laws of physics are the same everywhere. We here on Earth obey the same laws of light and gravity as someone in a far off corner of the universe.The universality of physics means that history is provincial. Different viewers will see the timing and spacing of events differently. What for us is a million years may just be a blink of an eye for someone flying in a high speed rocket or falling into a black hole.

Relativity is the concept that nothing is absolute in this universe. Everthing is relative to each other. Every quantity depends upon the frame of reference from which you are observing that quantity. Two theories are given by Einstein: General and specific theory of relativity, i’d suggest yoou read about them on wiikipedia.
