Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!
Explore the fundamental concepts of Einstein's Special Relativity theory in this 15-minute educational video. Delve into Einstein's thought experiment about chasing light at light speed and how it conflicts with Maxwell's equations. Discover how the constancy of the speed of light leads to the stretching and contracting of space and time, known as time dilation. Utilize spacetime diagrams and Lorentz transformations to visualize and understand how space and time behave for objects in motion. Cover key topics including light bubbles, light cones, coordinate systems, relative motion, and constant speed examples. Gain a clearer understanding of this revolutionary physics concept through clear explanations and visual aids.
