100 Years of Einstein's Relativity
Dr. Jeffrey Bennett (University of Colorado). 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of Einstein's completion of his General Theory of Relativity, the comprehensive theory of space, time, and gravity. Dr. Bennett explains the basic ideas of Einstein's work (both the special and general theories) in everyday language and shows how Einstein's remarkable ideas are being confirmed today by astronomical observations. He concludes with four reasons why relativity should matter to everyone.
