Details

	Einstein Light has a rave review in Science magazine and an award from Scientific American. It has several film clips (about a minute each) that use demonstrations and animations to give overviews to Galilean relativity, electromagnetism, the apparent inconsistency between them, Einstein relativiy, time dilation and length contraction, E=mc2 and beyond relativity. But for those who have questions and who want to go deeper and further, there are dozens of supporting pages, at levels with or without mathematics. Sponsored Links:
