Minute Physics: Intro to Special Relativity Course

Special relativity is a physical theory that explains the relationship between space and time. A collection of eight videos makes this complex—and at times confusing—concept a little easier to understand. Simple drawings illustrate each concept—while graphs, a physical tool, and a spacetime globe help concepts become clear. The collection includes a discussion of the Lorentz transformation, the twin's paradox developed by Paul Langevin, and a mechanical Minkowski diagram.
