Special Relativity

This page includes some links to chosen websites concerning Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. If you have interesting links you are missing on this page please drop me a line. Since this page is dedicated to beginners we expect you to tell us whether the chosen sites help you to understand the subjects or not. The links in the list are unsorted, you may choose by interest. My advice is to start with Dr. Gowdy's online course.

o Dr. Gowdy's online course -an easy access to special relativity including visual examples and questions
o Tensors and relativity -with equations and illustrations, spacetime diagrams, very good
o UM-StL 1D Acceleration Solver page - The author deals with the differences between Newtonian and relativistic kinematics. There's also a nice Java applet for calculating velocities.
o The Boundaries of Nature
o The Light Cone -an explanation of the twin paradoxon applying the Minkowksi diagram
o FAQ
o Note on relativity
o Nova: Einstein revealed
o Olympia Academy
