  • Great Explanation

  • Very good explanation. Thanks to this video i entirely understand the twins paradox. The special relativity can handle acceleration. When you do this mental experiment you must take count of simultaneity, time dilation and length contraction (the mass is not very important here). They all come from the statement: "The laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion."(Einstein, 1905). That means that the speed of light is the same for everybody. This is it. There's nothing more.

  • - there is a flaw in the relativity of simultaneity thought experiment : no one considered THE DIFFERENT MEETING POINTS of the observer in the train, when meeting both light flashes AT MOREOVER DIFFERENT TIME INSTANCES !

    - search at YouTube using those 5 keywords in a row : Einstein train simultaneity thought experiment

    - the video explains the flaw and contradicts the simultaneity problem. The observer in the train CAN calculate the simultaneity of both flashes originating from A and B

  • Fantastic. Finally a derivation of gamma, wonderfull.
