Relativity: how people get time dilation wrong
Einstein’s special theory of relativity is notorious for being easy to misuse, with the result that sometimes result in claims of paradoxes. When one digs more carefully into the theory, you find that no such paradoxes actually exist. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln describes a

Twins Paradox: The Complete Explanation
The twins paradox is easily the most famous paradoxes of all time. Using spacetime diagrams and the rules of relativity, we can show the paradox only happens because people are being lazy with special relativity. http://brilliant.org/ScienceAsylum ________________________________ VIDEO ANN

Even More Paradoxical: The Twin Paradox in Curved Spacetime
The Twin Paradox gets a stranger, even more mind-bending upgrade in General Relativity's world of curved spacetime. We explore the surprising and relatively unknown results to these new scenarios, while getting our toes wet in some of GR's conceptual frameworks. And finally, after several

Relativity & Gravity - The Complete History
Einstein (and his friends) came to some pretty crazy conclusions about gravity. By the end of this video, you'll have no choice but to come to the same conclusions. We'll start with a little background though: From Galileo in 1632 all the way to Einstein in 1905 and 1915. _________________
