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

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

Is it lightning or absence of light from something unknown?

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

Nothing changed in time, only perspective.

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

would this not be experiencing light differently n not time differently? time would pass all the same for both of them no?

But why does human perception matter?

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

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

Each person has their own perspective through their eyes. No one knows what each other sees.

‘There is no time, there is no space… our attention & perception is what creates/defines time & space…; individually in mutual relativity and collectively in fixed relativity’

I've always thought this. When you're young time seems to take so long. When the teacher would say 5 more minutes they seemed eternal. But now that you're older time seems to go so fast especially with the fact that you know your time could be up any day and that you wont look the way you do forever.

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

Epstein did a lot of work on numbers theory. Specifically 14-17.

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