Not so Special Relativity Part II
from The Hyperthesis Hosted by Pheely Chitnelawong, Patrick O'Brien, and Liam Farrell
Join the Hyperthesis as we continue our discussion on relativity. As an introduction, we discuss an interesting quirk of light and how its speed hasn't been measured as a one-way trip. This leads into our introduction of general relativity, the theory produced by Einstein that changed the physics paradigm. This theory describes the equivalence between gravity and acceleration, while discussing the curvature of spacetime and how the idea of spacetime came about in the first place. We talk about some of the results that fall our of the equations for General Relativity, including a story about wormholes.
