  • No we don’t agree, my perspective the mountain is at rest as am I. George is on a moving train which he claims is at rest and the mountain is moving and appearing contracted to George therefore he sees a different angle.

    I’m really enjoying this course, great presentation. Stretches the imagination.

    Absolutely believable, Past, Present and Future exists simultaneously. The only problem I have with that fact is , do we therefore really have free will if the future already exists?.

    The clock is Really ticking slower in the moving clock, the person moving with the clock doesn’t detect the slowing down of time due to the small amount of variation. But if the person with the moving clock was travelling close to the speed of light, let’s say 86% that person time would slow by approximately 50% then he would feel the slowing of time. Hope this helps you understand.

    Amazing stuff, I’m a believer.

    They have proven it by taking an atomic clock that was synchronised with another atomic clock, one was put on a aeroplane while the other left on the ground. The clock on the aeroplane was flown around the world, upon return checked against the clock left on the ground and found to have lost time compared to the one left on the ground. Religion on the other hand requires faith. ( Faith is belief in the absence of evidence ).

    I agree, good one.

    Newtonion math is simpler.

    Reality is an illusion albeit a very persistent one, quote by Albert Einstein. How true.

    The things I find strange are the facts that I totally understand the relativity of simultaneity..That just blows my mind, time will never be the same again.

    Great explanation. Love the demonstrations.

    Absolutely fabulous course, explained so well I completely understand now Relativity of Simultaneity.

    I personally prefer to see derivations of the formula first, I am coping though.

    The Foucault pendulum proves the earth is rotating. The day night cycles shows us that the earth is rotating and the changing of shadows length also adds to this conclusion.

    Density has increased because of it’s velocity ( increased mass ), but its rest volume hasn’t changed. It looks as though it’s volume has changed due to length contraction along direction of motion.
