I'm not sure if this is physically accurate, but the best description I've encountered for relativity is: You are always traveling at the same speed. That speed is 'c', the speed of light. If you are sitting still, you are 'falling' through the time dimension at 'c'. If you move in the X,Y,Z dimensions, you must move slower in the 't' dimension so that your velocity vector still sums to 'c'.

An immediate follow-up is: why do we always travel at c?

  Maybe it's just a cosmic constant, or a result of other parameters and how they interact (a second order constant). Why does the electron have the mass that it does? Why do protons have the charge that they do? Etc.
