Abstract
The two well-known physics theories, Special Relativity (SR) and General Relativity (GR) are not part of the Czech secondary school curriculum [Balada, 2007]. SR, though formerly commonly taught at Czech grammar schools, is therefore left for optional physics seminars (in better cases).
GR, on the other hand, has never been commonly taught during secondary education because of its apparent conceptual and technical difficulty. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive and accurate source of information about relativity in the form of a dedicated website.
Because more information is available about SR, our focus lies with GR.
