    Understanding Time Dilation: A Confusing Experiment Explained

    I've seen an experiment with a light clock that explains time dilation. A photon is fired and gets reflected off of 2 parallel mirrors. It keeps bouncing back and forth like that, with each bounce qualifying as one tick of the clock. And it looks like that from a stationary reference frame. Now...

    Is Acceleration of Acceleration a Valid Concept in Physics?

    Hi everyone. I was wondering about this. If the position of an object changes in time, the object has velocity. If the velocity of an object changes in time, the object is accelerating (decelerating) If the acceleration of an object changes in time, could we hypothetically have...
