Online Course on Understanding Einstein: The Special Theory of Relativity by Stanford University [81 Hours]: Enroll Now!

About the Course

In this course, we will seek to “understand Einstein,” especially focusing on the special theory of relativity that Albert Einstein, as a twenty-six-year-old patent clerk, introduced in his “miracle year” of 1905. Our goal will be to go behind the myth-making and beyond the popularized presentations of relativity in order to gain a deeper understanding of both Einstein the person and the concepts, predictions, and strange paradoxes of his theory.

Some of the questions we will address include:

• How did Einstein come up with his ideas?
• What was the nature of his genius?
• What is the meaning of relativity?
• What’s “special” about the special theory of relativity?
• Why did the theory initially seem to be dead on arrival?
• What does it mean to say that time is the “fourth dimension”?
• Can time actually run more slowly for one person than another, and the size of things change depending on their velocity?
• Is time travel possible, and if so, how?
• Why can’t things travel faster than the speed of light?
• Is it possible to travel to the center of the galaxy and return in one lifetime?
• Is there any evidence that definitively confirms the theory, or is it mainly speculation?
• Why didn’t Einstein win the Nobel Prize for the theory of relativity?
