A physicist came up with the gear solution which was stated in the video and dismissed because the mock physicist didn’t understand why the gear or wheel solved the problem.

If the gear or wheel is moving at a known rate, it can define the minimum speed of light passing through it, if the gear goes sufficiently fast and is sufficiently large with a sufficiently small hole.

Einstein was not infallible or all-knowing. His insistence on having two clocks when all that is needed is one time-accurate gear just shows he wasn’t thinking clearly. Einstein was clearly not an idiot.

However the mock physicist ignoring the very solution he presented is an idiot.
