Physics for Smarties: Time Dilation

This is a brief description of the concept of time dilation in the theory of Special Relativity, including the math behind it! It's my first ever video, feedback is very much appreciated!

Enjoyed the video. .Getting to listen music was a Surprise!!

Especially the first song. Film by Aphex Twin

I wonder how popular that song became. I can recognize it, but whom else?

xlightwavex, I'm explicitly leaving out gravity and acceleration because this is a movie about special relativity, I might make one about general relativity later.

Ackreti, I might make a video on that someday, but I would fit it in with general relativity.

this is the explaination for simultaniety

einstein explained gravity by the elevator example if you never had been in a elevator
if you push up you might feel like gravity is increaseing if you had no knowlege of the fact that it was actually moving upwards
that is litterally the bending of space time
which is no different when you accelorate or when you are introduced to a gravitaional feild

You explain time dilation caused by speed. I would prefer gravitational time dilation explained....

on the first image of the moving clock is delta x the change in distance? And from what point to what point.

"delta" t is the "change" in time
