Course Objectives

Einstein's Special Relativity theory (together with the general theory) is the modern theory of space and time; it successfully replaces Newton's concepts of absolute space and absolute time with spacetime. Since the laws of physics must be compatible with the structure of spacetime, Special Relativity constitutes one of the pillars of fundamental physics. In this course, the students will learn the fundamentals of Special Relativity so that they will be able to apply it in their academic journey.
