Yesterday, I posted a science video regarding the subject of Gravity..., which shows the bending of SpaceTime based on the mass of an object... that takes us to "Relativity"... This will eventually take us to the Warping of SpaceTime...and the possibility of Warp Drive process... This may not make sense right now, but as I take you through the next few science videos, it will start to make more sense and I hope open your thinking to all the possibilities of moving through space at or greater than the speed of light... I ask that you only keep an open mind through the process...
This video comes to you from Patreon & Professor Dave and in this Special Relativity Part 1 from Galileo to Einstein video is the first step... He and others have talked a little bit about relative motion in the classical physics, with Galileo dropping stuff in boats. But once Einstein got his hands on relativity, he went a little nutty with it! (I also posted a short video on Gravity.) The inertial reference frames are back but now we are talking about objects moving near the speed of light, which is where things start to get a little... weird.
I will continue this thread with Parts 2 and 3 as we move closer to warp speed...
I hope that you all enjoy this series...
Kerry

Thank you my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the educational video focused on Albert Einstein's Special Relativity. Part 1 From Galileo to Einstein.
Spatial reference is critical in physics whether classical Newtonian or Einstein's Relativity theories.
[This is very familiar to me still, after decades, nuclear physics at USMA, West Point exposed me to Einstein's General and Special Relativity theories. Special Relativity is focused on the relationship between space and time. 'Albert Einstein, in his theory of special relativity, determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and he showed that the speed of light within a vacuum is the same no matter the speed at which an observer travels. As a result, he found that space and time were interwoven into a single continuum known as space-time. Events that occur at the same time for one observer could occur at different times for another.']
In Newtonian physics the example of two passing trains [traveling at different velocities] is a typical example. The spatial reference points of two independent observers [one per train] observe the other train traveling at a different velocity from their own velocity aboard their train.
The Einstein theory presumes that the observers on two different spatial reference points are experiencing time differently - e.g. one traveling less than the speed of light while the other is traveling at the speed of light or greater velocity.
