Video Lectures - Einstein's Relativity and the Quantum Revolution: Modern Physics for Non-Scientists

Author: Richard Wolfson
Publisher: Teaching Company, 2005, 24pp, 2nd ed.

"It doesn't take an Einstein to understand modern physics," says Professor Richard Wolfson at the outset of this course on what may be the most important subject in the universe. Relativity and quantum physics touch the very basis of physical reality, altering our commonsense notions of space and time, cause and effect. Both have reputations for complexity. But the basic ideas behind relativity and quantum physics are, in fact, simple and comprehensible by anyone.
