SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy September 2022
DESCRIPTION:Relativity – The Layman’s Guide\nPart 1: Historical Background and Special Relativity\nGuest Speaker: Nick Odom \nNick starts with a brief description of physical knowledge in the 1890s and the problems that led to relativity\, in particular with regard to measuring the speed of light.  He will describe the basic axioms that underpin the theory and the effects on time and distance\, including the relevance of inertial frameworks\, the Doppler effect and the twin paradox.  Concluding\, he addresses the relationship between mass and energy and finishes with an introduction to spacetime. \nNick keeps mathematics very simple and uses plenty of diagrams to explain the main points\, making this fascinating topic accessible to everyone. We look forward to seeing you all there.
