The video explains the twins paradox, where one twin travels in a rocket and returns younger than the twin on Earth. It discusses how time perception differs due to relative motion and how Lorentz transformations resolve the paradox by accounting for time rotation and simultaneity changes. The video also highlights practical implications, such as atomic clocks on airplanes recording less time, and emphasizes the importance of understanding relativity beyond basic equations.
