1 Semester 2, day one!
"we are made of start stuff" - the way the universe understands itself? #cool
intros! sick.
we are gonna go into: - relativity - special relativity, - general relativity - spacetime and such - nuclear phys - quantum - atomic theory - the standard model - quantum gravity - then, dark matter and such! physic@nueva!
but, we are gonna start at special relativity the intro was, KBxSpecialRelativityIntro this is a special case, when the reference frames are not accelerating
u is defining a frame of reference, where v is the velocity of
something she is watching? monica is x
we can draw the t' axis, which is the primed frame of reference slope is 1/u! the point is, as she slides along the line, she will always stay at x=0.
x determines t=0
x axis stays constant w/ x'
1.1 equations
\(x' = x - ut\) \(t'=t\) \(v' = v - u\) only if the reference frames intersect at \(t=0\)!
