Understanding Einstein's Enigmas
from Quantum Field Theory with Dr. Rodeny A. Brooks · host Dr. Rodney A. Brooks
Most people are baffled by "Einstein's Enigmas" - special relativity, general relativity, and quantum mechanics. Yet understanding these mysteries is within everyone's grasp, once it is recognized that the universe is made of fields, not particles. The paradoxes of Einstein's theories of relativity and quantum mechanics (of which Einstein was the "grandfather") become simple consequences of the way fields behave. http://www.quantum-field-theory.net/
