The Feynman fake videos are like the Matrix movies, where you can sometimes see a "glitch in the Matrix" that looks unnatural. But that...

This is the critical assumption/characteristic of the game. First, Monty's pick is not random (he never reveals the car); and second...

That's a good way to look at it. Your original door still has 1/3 chance of winning. That leaves 1-1/3 = 2/3 chance and only one door...

If you didn't pick the prize door, switching wins; if switching loses; you picked the prize door: ~prize-door ##\rightarrow## (switch...

Right ##-## if you always switch, then whenever you first pick the prize door (1/3 of the turns), you lose (by switching from the...

What you learn from that is this: Your door was not opened because he is not allowed to open your door. You knew that already. The other...

If I understand what you are saying, this is wrong. You are gaining no advantage from knowing that Monte Hall (might have) intentionally...

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...
