Albert Einstein was neither the first nor the last to use thought experiments in his research. But Einstein, like no other before or after him, was a master at using his mind to explore regimes that real experiments could not explore. At least at his time. Einstein was also remarkably successful and many of his thought experiments, notably the elevator experiment and the EPR experiments are now real experiments. In this video, I explain the thought experiments behind Maxwell's demon, Einstein's elevator, the EPR experiment, and the black hole information loss paradox. I also explain what the relevance of thought experiments in physics is today. The reference about Maxwell's demon which I mention is this: https://www.nature.com/news/2007/070131/full/news070129-10.html Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Sabine
