WSU: Space, Time, and Einstein with Brian Greene

Join Brian Greene, acclaimed physicist and author, on a wild ride into the mind of Albert Einstein, revealing deep aspects of the world that defy everyday experience. Using a visually rich canvas of animations, Greene leads you through all the startling conclusions of special relativity, from time travel to space warps to E = mc2. In the span of 2 hours, this short master class will change your conception of reality. This is a mostly non-mathematical version of the WSU Master Class “Special Relativity with Brian Greene.” #WorldSciU 0:00 - Start The Special Theory of Relativity - 00:05 Speed - 00:05:50 The Speed of Light - 00:18:23 Relativity of Simultaneity - 00:27:42 Time in Motion - 00:37:42 How Fast Does Time Slow? - 00:47:49 Time Dilation: Experimental Evidence - 01:05:31 The Reality of Past, Present, and Future - 01:14:37 Time Dilation: Intuitive Explanation - 01:28:38 Motion’s Effect on Space - 01:32:34 The Pole in the Barn: Quantitative Details - 01:49:48 The Twin Paradox - 02:10:39 Implications for Mass - 02:19:17 Special Relativity - 02:29:06 Twitter: Facebook: Instagram: Subscribe:
