The Twins Paradox Hands-On Explanation | Special Relativity Ch. 8

The video explores the concept of mass-energy equivalence, explaining how mass can be converted into energy. It discusses the inefficiency of chemical and nuclear reactions in energy extraction compared to antimatter and black holes. Black holes, especially rotating ones, are highlighted as the most efficient means of converting mass into energy due to their gravitational pull and accretion disks. The video uses the example of powering Norway with cats to illustrate the efficiency of different methods.

How do black holes convert mass into energy?

What is the mass-energy conversion rate for a non-rotating black hole?

How does the efficiency of rotating black holes compare to non-rotating ones?
