b'In this episode,\\xa0we look at Special Relativity and how it is related to the model of Complete and Incomplete Coordinate Systems.\\xa0 After reviewing this video series, I hope that you are left with a better understanding of my model as well as of Einstein\\u2019s theory and how the two are related.\\xa0 In addition, I hope that you have a better understanding of Einstein\\u2019s derivation as well as how one can reasonably conclude the effects of Time Dilation and Length Contraction if you only have one type of coordinate system instead of two.\\xa0 Lastly, I hope that this material helps you to better understand Einstein\\u2019s derivations as given in Sections 2 and 3 of his 1905 paper and in his Relativity book.\\xa0 Part 4 of the series build upon the material presented in the first three parts.\\n\\nCorrections:\\xa0 1)\\xa0 In the video when I perform the first oscillation, I mention 10 seconds (or 10 on the counter).\\xa0 I should have said 20, which is consistent with the counter and the rest of my discussion.\\xa0 I correctly say 20 later in the video.\\xa0 2)\\xa0 At about 3:30 into the presentation I mentioned that the \\u201cperson\\u201d is stationary.\\xa0 I intended to say that the \\u201cbus\\u201d is stationary.\\nDownload in Windows Media Player Format\\nhttp://www.relativitychallenge.com/media/RelativityChallenge.com-Episode15.m4vDownload Podcast | Open Player in New Window'
