Einstein Light: a brief illumination of relativity

Einstein Light: a brief illumination of relativity: "The Special Theory of Relativity has revolutionised our understanding of time and space, of mass and energy since Einstein wrote his famous paper in June, 1905. In Einstein Light (Einstein lite?), we begin by explaining the relativity of Galileo and Newton, and some of the electromagnetism of Maxwell. We show how they disagree, we show how Einstein solved this problem and we explain some of the key ideas in his theory of relativity.

Can you really learn relativity in ten minutes? Of course not. But you can grasp some of the key ideas. The six multimedia modules together run for 10 minutes. The Related Links give more complete explanations, at levels with or without mathematics."
