I don't understand why the video needs be so negative. Why dump on other videos? And unfairly so!
> Science educators love to make videos about relativity, but surprisingly few of them seem to understand what this stuff really means.
The two examples the video gives of science educators that don't "know what this stuff means" are Don Lincoln and Matt O'Dowd. Both have PhDs in physics. Lincoln was on the team that discovered the Higgs boson. O'Dowd is a professor at CUNY. They know what they're talking about.
Then the video gives as an example of a bad explanation the PBS Space Time on the speed of light. But that video makes pretty much the same argument. That the speed of light/causality falls out logically even if you don't postulate it. The author clearly didn't watch that video carefully https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msVuCEs8Ydo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msVuCEs8Ydo
I would have subscribed to this channel, but this tone is a bad look.
