Special Relativity and the Twin Paradox (2015x4)

Air date: Mar 30, 2015

How can just two rules of Einstein's 1905 theory of special relativity lead to seemingly paradoxical changes in the perception of time? This video was inspired by a special relativity class in high school. Special relativity was one of the first subjects that made me go, “wow, that’s really how the world works?!” It stretched my imagination, as I hope the twin paradox will yours.
