Theory of relativity
Theory of relativity
Define (as simply as possible) an inertial reference frame
Galilean (aka: Newtonian) Relativity
Defining equation (addition of velocities)
What was the purpose that Lorentz developed the Lorentz Transformation Equations?
Special Relativity
Michael & Morley's Experiment
Implications of Lorentz Transformation Equations in real life
Galilean Relativity results of a rocket ship travelling at 9096 speed of light and then
turns on a spotlight.
Compare above results to Special Relativity results of same ship again travelling at
9096 speed of light and then turn on spotlight
E= mc2
Mass issues (What happens to mass as you approach ‘c'?
Age dilemma of twins, one on the above ship, one on earth
General Relativity
How is the reference frame changed here?
Implications on gravity
Bending of space and effect on light
Problem with merging with Quantum Theory (singularities)
Real life applications of theory on earth
