This is the "How Far Away Is It" video book channel.

Here’s the list of sources I used to put together the “How fast is it” video book. These books, videos and websites also represent resources you can use to do further research.

“The Meaning of Relativity” is Einstein’s own book on the subject. It’s a worthwhile read even if you don’t do the math.
Kip Thorne’s book “The Science of Interstellar” covers the science behind the movie. It’s a great resource for understanding Black Holes.

Here are two sources that are particularly useful for learning about Relativity Theory.
One of them is the Stanford University YouTube series on the subject presented by Leonard Susskind. I used it extensively. But it assumes a deep understanding of the math.
Better yet, for those who are not familiar with differential equations, Dr. John D. Norton’s website is outstanding. Norton has a deep understanding of the subject matter and discusses it in non-mathematical terms. I used his examples extensively.

For Gravitational waves, there is no better source than the LIGO site itself as well as the associated Caltech/MIT site. They have created resource usable by everyone from middle school to post-doctoral students. It also has an outreach facility for teachers.
