Can their quest to save humanity and end the war be achieved with Merlin’s gun?

“It doesn’t take an Einstein to understand modern physics,” says Professor Wolfson at the outset of these twenty-four lectures on what may be the most important subjects in the universe: relativity and quantum physics. Both have reputations for complexity. But the basic ideas behind them are, in fact, simple and comprehensible by anyone. These dynamic and illuminating lectures begin with a brief overview of theories of physical reality starting with Aristotle and culminating in Newtonian or “classical” physics. After that, you’ll follow along as Professor Wolfson outlines the logic that led to Einstein’s profound theory of special relativity and the simple yet far-reaching insight on which it rests. With that insight in mind, you’ll move on to consider Einstein’s theory of general relativity and its interpretation of gravitation in terms of the curvature of space and time.
