BTW I get 3 different titles, depending on where I look the video up:

  1. I never understood why spacetime needs a minus sign…until now!
  2. How Einstein’s Professor actually unlocked relativity
  3. The Idea Einstein thought was stupid

Video description:


Why does the spacetime interval have a minus sign?

The books I mentioned in this video:

Relativity visualised by Lewis Epstein

Spacetime Physics by Edwin Taylor
