Special Relativity | Lecture 5

(May 7, 2012) Leonard Susskind answers a question regarding material covered in the previous lecture. Following his explanation he continues into the concepts of fields and particles as they exist in special relativity. In 1905, while only twenty-six years old, Albert Einstein published “On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies“ and effectively extended classical laws of relativity to all laws of physics, even electrodynamics. In this course, Professor Susskind takes a close look at the special theory of r
