Thinking in Space Time

Explore the groundbreaking concepts of Einstein's theory of relativity in this 30-minute lecture from Wondrium. Delve into the fourth dimension of spacetime, challenging Newtonian physics and embracing Maxwell's equations. Discover Einstein's radical solution to the lightspeed debate and how it ties together energy, mass, and light. Learn about Hermann Minkowski's contributions to spacetime theory and how to create spacetime diagrams. Examine world-lines of particles, understand light-cones, and grasp the relativity of simultaneity. Unravel the apparent paradoxes of relativity and expand your understanding of the universe's fundamental workings. Presented by Benjamin Schumacher, this mind-bending journey through spacetime will revolutionize your perception of reality.
