How We Know Special Relativity Is Real

Learn how Dr. Lincoln routinely conducts experiments that show the bizarre effects of Einstein’s special theory of relativity, which come into play at speeds approaching that of light. Like quantum theory, relativity strains credulity, but clocks really do slow down and length contracts at relativistic speeds; we just don’t notice these effects in our relatively slow-moving lives.
