Description

This lecture covers the concepts of relativity of simultaneity and time dilation. It explains how events can be perceived as simultaneous from different frames of reference and how time can dilate based on relative motion. The lecture also delves into the contraction of distances and the implications of measuring time and length in different reference frames.
