Above image shows a spaceship moving at a extremely high velocity through outer space.
The questions are many , for example, what happens to the speed of light measured by an observer sitting inside the spaceship ?
What is TIME itself, does it slow down ? What is TIME DILATION? What is SPACE really? Is LENGTH of an object affected at high speeds?
The story of the universe is very complex. In this course, we try to make it easier to understand with our 3D images, explanations, videos and animations. Read two of the most profound theories of science, discovered by Dr. Albert Einstein. We are quite confident you will find our explanations logical and easy to grasp.
Following topics are covered:
1) Frames of Reference:
- Inertial,
- Non-Inertial,
- The Special Theory of Relativity
2) Coriolis Force : a fictitious force under Newton’s Laws
3) Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity, Speed of Light as constant, Relative velocity, Numericals
4) Time Dilation: moving clocks due to Relative Velocity only
5) Time Dilation: due to Gravitational Effects
6) Mass-Energy equivalence, Einstein’s famous equation
7) A body’s Rest Mass and Mass while moving
8) The Mass of Light
9) Energy and Momentum
10) TWINS Paradox : why one twin will look younger than the other
11) Solved problems
