Special Relativity | Lecture 6

(May 14, 2012) Leonard Susskind dives into topics of electromagnetism and how it relates to quantum mechanics. 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 relativity and also at classical field theory. Concepts addressed here include space-time and four-dimensional
