#1
Galileo and Einstein conducted two famous thought experiments that demonstrate the reality of differing perspectives. The first demonstrated that observers moving at constant speed and direction will experience the same results when performing mechanical experiments. The second demonstrated that the speed of light is not affected by the passage of time.

#2
Thought experiments are used by scientists to determine what can be inferred from what has been imagined. They are rigorous applications of the scientific method.

#3
Your perspective is completely unique, as demonstrated by both Galileo and Einstein. In the real world, this means that you see what no one else sees, but you don't see things from everyone else's perspective.
