Visualization of Einstein's special relativity


This video demonstrates the effects of Einstein's special relativity on objects that move at high velocities. More particularly, it visualizes the Lorentz transformation. The video shows a 3-dimensional view containing 2 dimensions of space and one dimension of time. This view is used to demonstrate the difference between classical physics and Einstein's relativity, and why the latter was necessary to understand experimental results.

"times time"- I hate that! - it throws me off the big picture - i start wondering about "time and times" Anyone else hae the same problem?

lol blatantly satirical, not sure how that wasnt caught.. lol

im not really into physics so i dont know 2 much about this stuff. anyone care 2 simplify further?

Religon Have( 0 ) evidence to Prove they are right... if if If there is a So powerfull (invisible man) who made this universe that we will never be able to understan how it made,,, Why Religon is sucha a Joke ?? Shoulndt religon be powerful as universe ? Very serios Question that is why I never blevie in Religon

If two observers are moving rapidly relative to each other and at the point their paths intersect they receive a ray of light then (remember they judge time differently but speed of light equally) since distance is speed times time they will judge the distance to the source differently.

i must point out a correction, the theory postulates that distance and speed are constant(do not vary) and it is only time that that is changing. i am writing a paper on the topic and through further research this is a common analogy of the theory, but it is totally fictional.

I respect what you think, and I find it interesting, however, the fact that it goes against all odds is what makes faith one of the most evolved forms of believing, and it's proper of the human nature alone. I ve never seen an ape or an armadillo praying. Faith comes from the human concience of dying but not of what's after dying, leading us to believe. Even believing in factic knowledge without factic proof, like philosophy. I find it trully amazing.
