Special Relativity 1 - Spacetime Diagrams Speaker(s): Richard Epp
Abstract: An introduction to spacetime diagrams – a first step towards understanding Einstein’s special theory of relativity.
Learning Outcomes: • Newton’s absolute space and time vs. Einstein’s relative space and time. • Bodies move through both space and time – spacetime diagram “worldlines” show both motions. • Drawing worldlines for bodies in various states of motion: at rest, moving with various constant velocities, and accelerating.
