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.

but if u never change the position in 1 dimension u can disregard it and take care only about 2, in this case up-down axe is time (duration). The video can help to understand the Lorentz trasformation and Einstein special relativity theory, but u need to know what it ts. U cant understand one of the strangest phisic theory by seeing a video on yt. btw in the video there are 2 pov (ground & cart)
Light having weight or everything moving in waves? For the light, I forgot exactly why, but my AP Chemistry teacher told me. For the waves, same thing.
Second, we see the light go from the guy to the mirror in 1.733 BOAS, and go back to the guy in 0.577 BOAS, for a round trip time of 2.31 BOAS. But for the guy, the round trip time of the light is still exactly 2 BOAS, and he tells us so. We must conclude that for him, time has slowed 15.5 percent.
Now, suppose the rocket goes by us at half the speed of light. First, we see the rocket (and therefore the distance between the guy and the mirror) has been shortened to 86.6 percent of its stationary length. To us, the guy-mirror distance is 26cm (10.6 inches.)
