I don't think special relativity is quite on the same level of strangeness (no pun intended) of quantum physics. For one, the axioms of special relativity are actually pretty believable, not to mention the incredible elegance of its integration with classical electromagnetism.

And the metaphors for relativity hold up longer than a few seconds once you start asking questions.
