A great introduction to the very complex idea of special relativity. The trick is not to solve problems based off of logic, but simply getting the hang of manipulating the question to gain clues. It stars off with basic Galilean Transformations and then leads to the familiar Lorentz transforms. The idea of simultaneity, where it cannot be possible in two different frames of reference will also be discussed. While time and length don’t appear the same at really high speeds, all observers agree on a quantity combing space and time. Best of luck!
