(via Minute Physics) This video is chapter 2 in my series on special relativity, and it covers spacetime diagrams, rotational and translational symmetry of both time and space, how certain ...
We've all heard of relativity, but what is it? How does it relate to light and motion? So we've all heard of relativity, right? But... what is relativity? And how does it relate to light? And motion?
Let the battle begin, Newton Vs Einstein. The all out battle for space-time. Both Albert Einstein and Sir Issac Newton are regarded as the forefathers of physics, but both held different theories that ...
Special relativity is beyond weird. Among its many statements are that moving clocks run slow and that moving rulers shrink. But how are we supposed to make sense of this? When you purchase through ...
In Newtonian physics, space and time had their independent identities, and nobody ever got them mixed up. It was with the theory of relativity, put together in the early 20th century, that talking ...
Discover how Einstein’s theory of special relativity reshaped physics by linking space, time, mass, and energy in a universe governed by the speed of light. When you purchase through links on our site ...
Since 2007, physicist Leonard Susskind has regularly delivered a lecture series called the Theoretical Minimum, on the foundations needed to study different areas of ...
David Lyth receives funding from the STFC. Gravity ties our bodies to planet Earth but it does not define the limits of the soaring human mind. In November 1915 – exactly one century ago – this was ...
Einstein's theory of general relativity, published in 1916, built upon his earlier work, including special relativity and the mass-energy equivalence, both published in his "Annus Mirabilis" in 1905.
