Virtual Learning Lab: Special Relativity, Part 2: Math Time!

May 15, 2020

Physics seems to work well on human scales, but why does classical physics seem to break at the largest and smallest ones? This series of videos, presented by Umar Ahmed Badami (CDB 2021 and CEO of Brilliants, a tutoring organization dedicated to helping underrepresented minorities) will discuss the physics on the scale of atoms and of galaxies.

In Lesson 2, we’ll discuss spacetime diagrams, the derivation of Lorentz transformations, and investigate some cool consequences of using them both together.

A Message to our community

We are deeply heartbroken by the devastating fires impacting so many friends, families, and staff in Southern California. The health and safety of our community remain our top priority.

While our offices are outside of the evacuation zone, staff will be working remotely through Wednesday, January 15 as we continue to monitor the situation. We are staying in touch with staff and families affected by these fires.

We sincerely appreciate your support during this challenging time. If you need to reach us, please email us at IEAGifted@educationaladvancement.org.

Thank you for your understanding and care. We’ll provide additional updates soon.
