The video tutorial explains Lorentz transformations, which describe changes in perspective in space-time. It covers time dilation, where time appears to run slower for moving observers, and length contraction, where moving objects appear shorter. The tutorial also introduces the concept of time contraction, completing the understanding of how motion affects perception of time and space. These phenomena are explained using a space-time globe, emphasizing the importance of perspective in understanding relativity.
