It's by far the best video to explain special relativity.

Shameful that this is so upvoted.

I guess most them did not see the video or read the comments. Saw the post on their feed with the thumbnail and upvoted it.

Ether theory trying to make a comeback.

I've "debunked" Dialekt videos before. That channel is dangerous.

And it's not dangerous because it would be strictly incorrect, but because they do not make their initial assumptions clear unless you watch more of their videos. They assume relative proper acceleration, which in mainstream science is currently treated mostly as "utter bollocks" as one friend of my put it.

The hostile takes against other channels is not helping either.

Step 1: "Explains" relativity with Doppler effect

Step 2: proceeds to complain others confusing relativity with Doppler effect
