"The views of space and time which I wish to lay before you have sprung from the soil of experimental physics, and therein lies their strength. They are radical. Henceforth space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a kind of union of the two will preserve an independent reality." – Hermann Minkowski

I have spent years poking at an intriguing physics idea that has since expanded into a much larger group of related theories. Along the way I have failed, regrouped, failed again, learned more with each step, and struggled through difficult problems until finally arriving at an approach that makes relativity almost… intuitive! I’m going to post a series of talks here that I hope will lead to a bigger conversation. All of the feedback I’ve received to date, whether encouraging or critical, has helped to refine the concepts and improve my own understanding. I hope you find it interesting.
