When Time Breaks Down

The video explores the intricate relationship between matter, motion, and time. It begins by discussing how our perception of time is influenced by attention and memory. The video then delves into atomic clocks, explaining that time flow is affected by motion, with faster-moving objects experiencing slower time. Through Einstein's photon clock thought experiment, the concept of time dilation is introduced, showing how time behaves differently at high speeds and in gravitational fields. The video concludes by linking the confinement of light-speed particles to the emergence of time and mass in matter.
