The Theory of Relativity

from Learn It from a Layman · host learnitfromalayman

We discuss the theory of relativity. What is the difference between special relativity and general relativity? Who is Hendrik Lorentz? Why can't we accelerate a particle to the speed of light? How can there be a massless particle? What is the space-time continuum? Why does time stop when you're traveling at the speed of light and what does it have to do with an asymptote? Does a warp drive mean faster-than-light travel? Is it possible to travel back in time according to the laws of physics? Come find out with us.
