World Science Festival | WSU: Special Relativity with Brian Greene @WorldScienceFestival | Uploaded September 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Physicist Brian Greene takes you on a visual, conceptual, and mathematical exploration of Einstein’s spectacular insights into space, time, and energy. In just 11.5 hours, using nothing more advanced than high school algebra, journey from Einstein’s earliest musings on the speed of light to his startling realization that time can tick at different rates to his revolutionary discovery of the world’s most famous formula, E = mc2.
This is a more in-depth and mathematical version of the WSU Master Class “Space, Time, and Einstein.” youtu.be/CKJuC5CUMgU
