Horizon - Einstein's Miracle Year (full version)

the faster you move the slower your clock ticks, compare to the stationary observer what means that time passes more slowly driving to the work than sitting at the desc, length also shrinks as speed increases. At the speed of light length shrinks to zero and time stands still - wows to anyone whos imagination can paint a picture of that!!!

However time dilation and length contraction are symmetric for both inertial observers so time ticks slow relative to both but time moves normal in their rest frame. Only general relativity can break the symmetry aka one observer not being in an inertial frame.

thanks for posting. I think i finally get some bits of the relativity theory!! good doc!
