Today on Far Future Horizons we are proud to present a 1923
silent animated motion picture based on Garrett P. Serviss’ popularization of Albert Einstein’s theories
of relativity - The Einstein Theory of Relativity published in 1923.

Theory of Relativity is a 20 minute silent black and white animated film. It
was produced in 1923 by the Fleischer Studios, best known for their Betty Boop
cartoons.

This film was produced in collaboration with popular
science journalist and science fiction author Garrett P. Serviss to accompany
his book on the same topic.
Serviss was the author of Edison's Conquest of Mars (1898),
written on commission from The Boston
Post as a sequel to "Fighters from Mars", an un-authorized and
heavily altered version of H. G. Wells’ War of the Worlds.
