Time Dilation - Einstein's Theory Of Relativity Explained!

The video explores Einstein's revolutionary thought experiments that led to the theory of special relativity. It discusses how Einstein's ideas were influenced by Newton's laws of motion and Maxwell's electromagnetism, leading to the concept of time dilation. The video explains the conflict between Newton's and Maxwell's ideas, resolved by Einstein's realization that time slows down with increased velocity. It introduces the concept of space-time, where massive objects curve space-time, affecting gravity. Practical examples, including the movie Interstellar, illustrate how motion affects time, showing that time runs slower on Earth's surface than above the atmosphere.
