Special Relativity Part 2: Time Dilation and the Twin Paradox

The video explains the concept of time dilation, a key aspect of special relativity, through a thought experiment involving observers on Earth and a spaceship. It details how time is perceived differently due to relative motion and provides a mathematical framework for calculating time dilation. Practical applications, such as GPS satellite corrections, are discussed. The twin paradox is explored, illustrating how time dilation affects biological clocks. The video concludes with a resolution of the paradox by considering inertial reference frames.
