Abstract
We provide some guidance and examples to clear up common misconceptions about special relativity. These misconceptions often come from trying to express the truths of special relativity in Newtonian terms rather than in terms more natural to special relativity itself. This conceptual stance can also help in attaining a better understanding of general relativity.
Perhaps start with https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.21660 "It is certainly true that there are aspects of relativity that are counterintuitive, not only to retired engineers but also to many physicists."
