Relativity and Frames of Reference

Because of the works of Galileo, Newton and Einstein we have come to understand that accounting for the experience of each individual requires the use of clearly defined fixed points in space-time. This video series explores the relationship between the sun and the earth as the most tangible and fundamental Frames of Reference.

Lesson 1 — Light and Scale

Introduces concepts related to frames of reference, the speed of light and comprehending our scale in the universe.

Lesson 2 — Frames of Reference

Construct a frame of reference in which we can understand our place in the universe by defining one position in space-time as relative to another.

Lesson 3 — At Rest or In Motion

Consider how motion is perceived from different frames of reference and what causes objects to change velocity.

Lesson 4 — Speed and Direction

Explore how velocity relates to relativity and the importance of a stable fixed point of origin in understanding our place in the universe.
