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.

Isn't this general relativity?

[udiprod]

@ferose2 No. General relativity deals with gravity and with accelerating objects. This video deals with objects that move at constant velocities, which is the domain of special relativity.

[raydredX]

@udiprod Is it possible to work around with forces or at least acceleration without ever thinking about GR? Keeping gravity out of ourse.

(and make predictions of course, working on the twins paradox for example)

[udiprod]

@raydredX As far as I know this is ok. Relativity deals, for example, with electromagnetic fields, (in fact unifying the once considered two distinct phenomenon to one), and the whole point of fields is that they exert force. See for example the article "Formulation of Maxwell's equations in special_relativity" in wikipedia.

I love how two years ago this video made no sense to me but now it's perfectly clear. I <3 education. This ia great representation of the Lorentz transformation.

[raydredX]

@udiprod I that deals more with how fields spread rather then forces (Even though they're force fields). But I'll check it out, thanks.

i didn't understand this video now but may be i will understand it after 1 or 2 years when i will pass tenth class

[cenedywong]

after i watched this video, my insight is very open because the video is very good to give information This video demonstrates the effects of Einstein's special relativity on objects that move at high velocities.

I am very happy to see the vidoe after you give This video demonstrates the effects of Einstein's special relativity on objects that move at high velocities. More particularly, it visualizes the Lorentz transformation.

I Love The Video It Can Increase My Knowledge This video demonstrates the effects of Einstein's special relativity on objects that move at high velocities. More particularly, it visualizes the Lorentz transformation

Steady I Really Like This Video Visualization of Einstein's special relativity

Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always Visualization of Einstein's special relativity
