Special Relativity is a fascinating and in many cases counterintuitive topic. I just started these notes and what I have so far is mostly about time dilation.

Basically time dilation tells us that a moving clock ticks slower that a clock at rest. How much slower? Well, this scaling factor is the famous Lorentz factor, shown below.

In any event, my (nascent) notes are here: https://davidmeyer.github.io/physics/special_relativity.pdf.
The LaTeX source is here: https://www.overleaf.com/read/xfghcdxjyzhg#675841. As always, questions/comments/corrections/* greatly appreciated.

Happy Holidays everyone!
