Length Contraction and Special Relativity

[pothineni]

These lecture styles are extremely helpful in clarifying the textbook. Keep doing what you are doing!

[marcelbaribeau]

In your presentation "Length Contraction and Special Relativity", in your thought experiment at the top of the second column, you assign L naught to the distance viewed by the fixed person and half column down you assign L to the distance measure by the moving person. Should it not be the reverse since the naught (sub zero) seems to be designated for the moving reference. At "then" you would have L naught = v delta t naught. Equation 4 would have the L reversed but the equation would not change since the definition would be in accord.    Mike Bravo

Sir, Surely the L0 should be the length of the spaceship when the observer on the spaceship measure the length. I thought L was the length measured by the observer?

can you find out answer of one question

if there is a planet X 1day = 1000 years on earth how far the planet is from earth ?

[naamaxo]

How come for Time dilation proper time is used for the moving reference frame but for Length contraction proper length is used for the stationary reference frame? Your videos are awesome by the way!

[yashgupta]

Sir! If spaceship is non inertial.frame of reference.then, why you derive the time dilation equation by assuming that spaceship is moving inertial frame reference and. Earth is stationary inertial frame .
Otherwise, your teaching method is awesome!!!!

[RazaSabri]

Sir I need the same videos on general theory of relativity, Would you like to help me....?

[rusma]

sir tell me one thing ?
earth is the inirtial frame of refernce or non

[safkanderik]

The guy in Spaceship can say that the universe accelerated and not me
