Let's rediscover the thought experiments that led Einstein to his special theory of relativity Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 01:15 1/3 Detect motion with particles? (Thought experiment) 04:01 Inertia doesn't allow detecting constant velocity motion 06:18 2/3 Detect motion with waves? (Thought experiment) 09:18 Medium doesn't allow detecting constant velocity motion 10:15 Constant velocity motion is RELATIVE! 11:02 3/3 Detect motion with light? (Thought experiment) 13:12 Does light break relativity? 13:46 Michelson & Morley's experiment (oversimplified) 14:20 The logical conclusion - Speed of light is same in all frames 15:32 Discovering time dilation & length contraction 19:59 Summary
