Why bending, how can light go "faster" than light, and more

Lessons are primarily funded directly by viewers, who get early access to new videos: https://3b1b.co/support

An equally valuable form of support is to simply share the videos.

Much of the last video, as well as this one, is based on the following Feynman Lecture:

3blue1brown is a channel about animating math, in all senses of the word animate. If you're reading the bottom of a video description, I'm guessing you're more interested than the average viewer in lessons here. It would mean a lot to me if you chose to stay up to date on new ones, either by subscribing here on YouTube or otherwise following on whichever platform below you check most regularly.
