About
Einstein's theory of relativity, specifically time dilation, is referred by Matt Parkman as an explanation for Daphne's capacity of traveling through time when running at superluminal speed. Interestingly, one of the first evidences for Einstein's theory of general relativity came during a solar eclipse. Also, the term "Einstein" is often used nowadays to refer to someone who is considered a genius.
