The Twin Paradox, explained visually: a tour through Einstein's special relativity, time dilation, length contraction, the Lorentz boost, and the relativity of simultaneity, and how they allow time travel into the future. We derive everything from scratch, starting with a simple light clock. The video also touches on the Hafele-Keating experiment, muon decay, and GPS clock corrections, to provide ample evidence that relativistic time dilation is grounded in experimental data.
