Episode notes
Consult Scientists for Accuracy
- Reach out to real scientists for scientific accuracy in media.
- Accurate science enhances storytelling and avoids confusing or alienating informed audiences.
Location, Velocity, and Acceleration
- Location and velocity are always relative to other objects or observers.
- Acceleration, unlike location or velocity, is an absolute quantity you can measure within your frame.
Relative Velocity and Time Dilation
- Velocity is relative and symmetric; time dilation is also relative and symmetrical.
- Each observer sees other's clock running slow, meaning absolute time flow does not exist.
