Description:
Explore the fundamental concepts of special relativity in this comprehensive MIT course taught by Professor Markus Klute. Delve into Albert Einstein's groundbreaking 1905 theory and its profound impact on our understanding of physics, space, and time. Learn about length contraction, time dilation, Lorentz transformation, relativistic kinematics, and Doppler shifts. Examine intriguing "paradoxes" and their resolutions. Through a series of lectures, discover the historical context, experimental evidence, and practical applications of special relativity. Investigate topics such as spacetime diagrams, causality, 4-vector notation, momentum and energy conservation, particle collisions, and the theory's implications for electromagnetism. Gain insights into related concepts from general relativity, including the equivalence principle and experimental tests. This course offers a thorough introduction to special relativity, suitable for students seeking a deep understanding of this fundamental theory in modern physics. Read more
