When you think of time dilation in the context of Special Relativity, it's often taught as if you see things in slow motion. But that's wrong!
This video covers why it is wrong as what you would see if an object was moving at relativistic speeds.
I have produced a ONE MINUTE VERSION for Veritasium's Scicomm contest.

Many thanks to Theo Hughes for his valuable feedback and interview .
