A Fuller Explanation
Einstein revolutionized our understanding of Universe, explains Fuller; prior to his relativity theory, we could think in terms of a single-frame (simultaneously complete) picture, unimaginably vast, but still simultaneous at any given moment. This understanding must now be replaced by a "scenario" concept: Universe is the aggregate of all humanity's consciously apprehended and communicated nonsimultaneous and only partially overlapping experiences.
