Alternatively titled, "Physics Myth-Busters: why time dilation does NOT cause gravity" this video explores an explanation of General Relativity whose monumental erroneousness is commensurate only to its popularity. What is this explanation, why is it so wrong, and how did so many high-profile YouTubers get suckered into promoting it? Prepare for a heavy dose of critical thinking, as we attempt to sift facts from falsehood and approach a deeper, more meaningful understanding of the actual nature of gravity.
