Einstein’s Cat: A Thought Experiment That Proves Time Dilation Is Universal

What happens when a light clock and a mechanical stopwatch disagree—if a cat’s life depends on it?

In this video abstract, I presents Einstein’s Cat, a thought experiment inspired by Schrödinger’s cat and built to confront a common misconception in Special Relativity: the idea that time dilation only applies to light-based clocks.

Featuring the “Sync-or-Die Clock,” this scenario demonstrates that all clocks — mechanical, atomic, even biological — experience time dilation, not just those involving light.

The animation shows the paradox unfold in two inertial frames and resolves it through the core principle of Special Relativity: the universality of time dilation.

🧠 Ideal for students, educators, and anyone curious about relativity and misconceptions in modern physics.
