This is great but could you say where you got this from? I would love to watch the full vid
-
OMG this is what i call educational
-
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, for this video. I have watched several others and searched several websites, and this is the first that doesn't leave me completely confused. Length contraction makes sense now.
-
@wavyinfinity Relative to the car, itself, no contraction would occur. The contraction is only visible to an immobile bystander. (The car would also need to be traveling close to the speed of light)
-
slows time and contracts distances? Holy sh!t. Just imagine if a car could do that.
-
Doing this in my physics class right now, and this really helped me to understand it better. Thanks!
-
its a bad explanation again

To continue, consider a beam of light from a star several LY`s away. We think it took several years to get to us, but the light thinks it got here instantaneously due to time dilation in the moving frame. This must mean that velocity as observed by the light beam was infinite. The relative speed observed by us was, of course, only "c". Length contraction is merely a relative illusion, but the time dilation is REAL & proven. Read "TIME DILATION The Reality". There`s much more than this in there.
