Gerny27 :

Wait, Einstein was a real person? This whole time I thought he was just a theoretical physicist

CraftyDude22 :

No, the time was the same. Just the view was different. THE TIME WAS THE SAME, THE VIEW WAS THR ONLY THING DIFFERENT.

Royalty Purple :

This train going light speed?? 😳

Brandon :

Nothing changed in time, only perspective.

PF42 :

At first I thought this said Epstein and I was very confused

Kreepella_kulture :

This is why pbs is vital! 👏👏👏

dj_ghost_lantern :

Nick :

This is the kind of stimulation my brain needs

mp_849 :

that's john Goodman

Marko :

that doesn't change what happened, just a matter of perspective.

Brendan Brandybuck :

Bro this Einstein fellow was clearly a dumbass. Trains can’t move close to the speed of light, they’ll break immediately.

DeadPrezAsABonus :

Perception is huge

𝖙 𝖗 𝖎 𝖓 ♛ . :

isn’t this just , perception lol ? based on what angle you’re positioned at lol .

🙂Daniel😡 :

I dont get it?

robroy1978 :

i don't understand. For me It only means that the woman is moving in the direction of the "object" that is moving in her direction the same time. And the other "objects" is chasing her so it has longer distance and longer time. 😳

Robert :

So basically difference in perception = difference in your reality?

Tizacoincidence :

But why does human perception matter?

highjumpingkiwi :

A lot of people don’t know this but, Einstein was actually a real person.

sterrad2023 :

Einstein thought experiment is wrong. Time which woman on the train perceive information depends on her speed. both events are still simultaneous

Tony Allain60 :

You can observe this yourself. Play an episode of something on your projector/tv across the room. Sync up your headphones to another device playing the same thing, walk across the room and notice your headphones are slightly ahead of the speakers. Sound/light reaching your receptors is all relative.

Daniel Rothschild :

EVERYONE read Epstein lmao 😭😭

Fatalisk Barndt :

Thats Dan from Roseanne

Oro Parece :

In this example, isn't perception because of perspective what makes the difference on how the phenomenon is experienced? 🤔

Red Dragon 2021 :

Einstein: I vill mess vith time...i VILL MESS vith TIME!

Meet me there :

I’m confused. Just bc the light reaches her eyes differently than his doesn’t mean there’s two realms of time. It just means there’s two different perceptions of the same event. There still remains an objective realm where reality lies. Human perception is a moot point
