Imagine Tomorrow! Faster–than–light communication
Last week, I saw a good friend whom I haven’t seen for a while. He asked: If Einstein is wrong, what does […]
Tutorial Six: How things move (Part 1)
One of the most interesting aspects of physics is that it helps to describe how things move. This characteristic builds upon a […]
Tutorial Five: How Einstein finds an average
Now that you’ve been introduced to averages and Doppler equations, let’s combine these two ideas. This will also give us an opportunity to start […]
Tutorial Four: Trains and the Doppler effect
The Doppler effect (also called Doppler shift) is one of the most widely–observed phenomena associated with moving objects. In fact, we often […]
