Learning Special Relativity

2026-04-13

The number of ah-ha! moments I've had when learning about special relativity is incredible (at the cost of the constant pain of "how on earth is this possible").

I knew how to do Lorentz transformations before and even wrote some code to represent them, but now I'm finally building an intuition for special relativity instead of primarily relying on the equations.

Can't wait for general relativity to mess it up once again!
