Time dilation

Thirteen years ago, I started to make a series of videos featuring Gizmo the Pig and Poob. The goal was to explain some of the weird effects of special relativity in a way that you could understand with a minimum of background. I made two of these videos: one https://youtu.be/_Z-1dkntITo?feature=shared about Pythagoras's theorem (all the background you really need) and one https://youtu.be/LGODWLbJeEE?feature=shared about how we know that light-speed is finite. I never got around to making any more. In this third video, our intrepid heroes finally come face to face with the sanity-sapping madness of time dilation. If the message of the video is lost on you, just remember that: Poob is always right.
