In summary, the key sections to explore on PF for learning about relativity are the theory of special relativity, the theory of general relativity, and the applications of relativity in modern physics. The theory of special relativity covers concepts such as time dilation, length contraction, and the equivalence of mass and energy. The theory of general relativity explains the relationship between gravity and the curvature of spacetime. Finally, the applications of relativity in modern physics include topics such as black holes, the expanding universe, and gravitational waves. By exploring these key sections on PF, one can gain a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles and implications of relativity in the field of physics.

Just had interest in relativity and thought I'd join.
In order to help you start, the following are the three main sections in PF. You should explore them well:
1. The main forums, that you see in the first page.
2. Insights Blog, available at the top row (header section). In short, they have been described as a "wonder of the web". It contains articles that help in learning topics to a great extent.
3. The Videos, also available in the header section. The media gallery now has some great videos in almost every aspect in science, and they provide an audio-visual learning experience.
