A visual demonstration of the effects of Einstein's relativity.

Visit my homepage, http://www.zutopedia.com/udia.html, or read about my latest book http://www.zutopedia.com

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.

    Despite spending the last year being interested in this stuff and reading a michio kaku book on theoretical physics, I'm afraid I cannot grasp even this. I must be some kind of retard, for my continued enthusiasm despite any understanding of the subject

    I was able to understand given that I have already done relativity in my undergrad.

    Well, thats what Einstein was heading for.

    i have a feeling that if i actually took the time to study this i could get it... eventually

    The skewing you see in the video is a representation.

    Basically, as something get faster, in order for Light to continue to be going at the speed of light, at all frames of reference, time slows down, and space is slightly distorted to make up for this. It's what we call Time Dilation

    Light is moving the same speed from all points of reference, regardless of your speed, because the faster you go, the slower your perceive it

    Have you heard of Lorentz contraction? There are so many pseudoscientists out there. This video has nothing to do with relativity theory.

    its not really that hard, just switch to more serious literature.

    You don't think that engineers are capable of measuring such effects (if large enough to have a real effect) and accounting for them? Sure you could argue that the remaining error in GPS clocks are the result of some unnoticed or underestimated effect, but you'd be in a tough position to explain why those effects happen to exactly match the predictions of relativity.

    We're all time travelers are we not?

    I'd be interested to hear what 'they' have to gain from lying about relativity.
