  • Summary

  • In this episode, we dive into some of the most famous thought experiments that Einstein used to explain his groundbreaking ideas on relativity. From imagining himself riding alongside a beam of light to observing a train moving at high speeds, Einstein’s mental experiments revealed how time, space, and the speed of light are interconnected. We’ll break down these thought experiments and explain how they helped Einstein develop his theory of special relativity. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how a train and a light beam became key to reshaping our view of the universe.
