1. A Tale of Two Twins
1 year ago
A story book unfolds the incredible tale of a pair of identical twins who, after one of them embarking on an intergalactic journey at near the speed of light, age at vastly different rates. Intrigued by the seemingly impossible situation, the narrators invite the audience into a lively chat on special relativity concepts, such as time dilation and nonequivalent reference frames, that are the culprits behind Einstein’s famous Twin Paradox.

Love it!
loved the video
Please, keep doing this sort of things (I mean for the creativity, it hasn't necessary to be about relativity or physics at all...)
Although I understood this before but I had a slight problem following the video. Maybe I was paying too much attention to detail instead of what they were saying Hahaha
Relative speed = Va + Vb / (1 + Va x Vb / c^2)
At low speeds, this comes very close to Va + Vb, but at relativistic speeds, it brings the speed limit down so the relative speed never gets above c.
For 0.55c, the relative speed is .55c + .55c / 1.3025 = 0.844c, or about 84% of the speed of light, so although there would be a huge delay, they would be able to communicate if they had good enough technology.
