Modern Physics - Special Relativity

Fast is different. You might have heard that "a moving clock runs slowly" and "a moving object occupies less space." What, exactly, does this mean, and how did Einstein discover these amazing properties of space and time? Join us on an adventure into Einstein's universe and find out why these strange-sounding properties are actually perfectly natural and easy to understand.


The special relativity lectures have been divided into 14 modules, each with a title and a brief description of its content. It is recommended that these be viewed in the order listed, as each module builds on concepts introduced in previous modules. | modules |
