Relativity of Simultaneity | Special Relativity Ch. 4

The video tutorial explains the concept of Lorentz transformation, which represents the change in perspective from a non-moving to a moving frame in spacetime. It highlights how events that are simultaneous in one frame may not be in another due to the relativity of simultaneity. The tutorial also discusses how time dilation and distance affect the perception of time, emphasizing that significant differences occur only at high speeds or large distances. Finally, it explains how alignment of events changes with movement, illustrating the relativity of motion and time.
