What causes Time Dilation? In the context of special relativity, where different observers disagree on basic facts about space and time, there has never been a clear consensus on this question, even among the experts. But an alternative interpretation known as Dynamical Relativity offers an entirely mechanistic explanation of the phenomenon, devoid of any mind-bending, space-and-time-altering pseudo-mysticism. What is this explanation exactly, and can it lead us to a deeper, more logically coherent understanding of the theory? Join us to find out. Plus, introducing the affordably-priced SoundBot-2000 -- watch out for its adorable critical-thinking alerts!
