@Squandarlo Smart way of getting thumbs up :)
Thumbs up to it, and you are in the 10%

WAT

When he says distance in relativity ,he is talking about space time interval .That's not the same thing as the distance that we calculate in three dimensions. In four dimensions every point in the universe in defined by four different coordinates :(x, y , z, t). So, what space time interval does is show how far the two events (i.e points in spacetime) are separated by spatial distance and time. and @SubTeeMusic : Velocity is distance divided by time (not multiplied!) ; so you're a moron.

Now whenever people talk about how long a class is or how far away a date is, I can mess with them.

so, just so we are on the same page, I am mr. Potato?

@x3viincent I wonder about that too.
-
lol i can understand what he is saying

I've watched this damn video 5 times now and I still don't get it.

@x3viincent See, I visited google the other day and I was wondering if they were advertising the color white for using it as a background color.
