Special Relativity: Deciphering Einstein New

What makes the universe tick? At the heart of modern physics lies Einstein’s theory of special relativity—a revolutionary idea that redefined time, space, and energy. From the iconic equation E=mc2 to the strange realities of time dilation and length contraction, this course invites you to explore the concepts that forever changed how we understand the cosmos. Along the way, you’ll see how Einstein’s ideas influence everything from black holes to interstellar travel, laying the groundwork for some of today’s most thrilling scientific discoveries.

In this three-week journey, you will delve into the foundational principles of special relativity, including spacetime, Lorentz transformations, and the interplay between relativity and electromagnetism. You’ll also connect these ideas to larger concepts like the Doppler effect and general relativity, gaining a preview of college-level physics without getting bogged down in heavy mathematics. With thought experiments, interactive discussions, and real-world applications, this course is perfect for students eager to uncover the elegance and mystery of Einstein’s legacy.
