Lecture
The Twin Paradox
Description
This lecture explores the paradox of the twin scenario in special relativity, where one twin stays on Earth while the other travels in a spaceship at near-light speed. The traveling twin ages slower due to time dilation, leading to a situation where they reunite but have aged differently. The instructor discusses the implications of the principle of relativity and the resolution of the paradox through mathematical calculations of event intersections in spacetime.
