Course Details
• Introduction to Relativity – Understanding the basic concepts of relativity, including Galilean and Einstein's special relativity.
• Space-Time Continuum – Exploring the concept of space-time as a four-dimensional structure.
• Time Dilation – Examining the phenomenon where time appears to move slower for objects in motion, as predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity.
• Length Contraction – Delving into the concept of length contraction, where objects in motion appear shorter to a stationary observer.
• Mass-Energy Equivalence – Investigating the relationship between mass and energy, as described by the famous equation E=mc^2.
• Gravity and Curved Space-Time – Understanding how the presence of mass and energy causes space-time to curve, leading to the phenomenon of gravity.
• Relativistic Mechanics – Exploring the mathematical formulation of relativistic mechanics, including Lorentz transformations.
• Experimental Tests of Relativity – Examining the various experiments that have confirmed the predictions of relativity, such as the Michelson-Morley experiment and the observation of gravitational waves.
• Applications of Relativity – Delving into the practical applications of relativity, such as GPS systems and nuclear reactions.
• Advanced Topics in Relativity – Exploring more advanced topics in relativity, such as general relativity, black holes, and the Big Bang theory.
