I finally found it! Yahoooooo!

I saw this show on Discovery I think. It was a few years back. The reason this video is so important to me is because of an enigma I was dealing with myself for many years involving the theory of relativity.

I was always fascinated with that theory mainly because of how time slowed down for people who were moving, compared with people standing still. And furthermore, how such a simple thing like speed could affect aging, which to me seemed very hard to understand. The two were completely different from each other. That is, of course until I saw this show.

This clip showed me in terms I can now understand. Now I see how someone could fly away at the speed of light for maybe a day, and age only one day, yet my friend on earth has aged let's say 50 years.

I studied the theory for many years, but could never get over that one bump in the road, until I saw it with my own two eyes. Now, it makes total sense.

Enjoy!

P.S. The clock at the end is where the focus of this is. It's only about 4 minutes, so be patient, and it'll be worth your time. Gauranteed!

probably the most interesting explanation I have seen on that particular "bump".

Excellent clip of his theory of relativity. Will make it easier for a lot of people to understand.

One thing I just noticed watching the video again was That if you can reach that speed, you wouldn't feel different because like the film said, you don't notice the change while on board, just like the clock. WOW

I did notice the above earlier, however it took a turn for a second dimension. I've noticed this is happening a lot in the past 7 or 10 years. Some thought will evolve into a secondary enlightenment "so to speak". Stacks upon stacks of ideas will only refine the original thought.
