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

    This video makes an analogy between a light clock and a sound clock. Showing that a clock that bounces sound back and forth for each tick will encounter time dilation under movement similar to special relativity. It proposes that light literally is a wave in the aether and scientific consensus is suppressing this truth. It insults other physics youtubers and invites the viewer to continue with them on a new revolution in science.

      I haven’t watched the video. But your summary using “wave in aether” is unexpecting to me. the aether idea was tossed away a century ago when near the time it was discovered, that light travels at the same speed in all measured velocities ans directions.
