It's a very entertaining show. Unless you hadn't noted the jumps at 0:42 and 0:46 are not just jumps. They are propelled by a device in...

This could be the best way to do it, not a miss. Depending on the strength, rigidity, and dynamics of the machine, getting to a...

One other note, on isotropy: But it can be any direction; that's the point. Your method has to work the same no matter what direction...

His attempt to get around that is to start both clocks in the same place, set them to the same time, then move one away and adjust its...

Then you're not measuring the one-way speed of light. You're just reproducing your clock synchronization convention. Your process for...

Synchronizing separated clocks is the problem. This is circular logic. The time dilation equations come from the experimental proof...

You need two separate concepts, relative velocity and separation rate. Relative velocity is the speed one object measures another to...

When you apply relativistic velocity addition equations, remember to be very specific about whose inertial reference frame each speed is...

Google "relativistic velocity addition".

You have overlooked the relatively of simultaneity. Say that observer A is located on earth, B on the ship, and both agree that the...

Start from scratch. It's about how people in an inertial reference frame synchronize their clocks at different locations: 1) Something...

I think it helps to suspend your disbelief for as long as it takes you to learn how it works. Putting your mental energy into arguments...

Here are some more solutions; In each case, the triangle constructed in green is similar to the triangle highlighted in brown which...

BBC News once posted a challenging geometry problem from a Chinese maths exam taken aged 16, comparing it to the British exams taken at...
