TED-Ed: The fundamentals of space-time: Part 1 - Andrew Pontzen and Tom Whyntie

The video tutorial introduces the concept of four-dimensional space-time, explaining how time and space are interconnected. It uses animations and flip books to illustrate motion and velocity, creating space-time diagrams to predict movement. The tutorial also covers Galilean transformations to view physics from different perspectives and discusses the limitations of these models at high speeds, setting the stage for further exploration of space-time concepts.
