Richard Wolfson - Einstein s 100th "Anniversary"
Einstein's Miraculous Year
Relativity in a Nutshell
Einstein s 100th "Anniversary" Two Complimentary Lectures
Welcome, Friend of The Teaching Company.
We are pleased to present two complimentary lectures on the history of physics:
"Einstein's Miraculous Year" and Relativity in a Nutshell are presented by Professor
Richard Wolfson, a 20-year teaching veteran at Middlebury College, These lectures reflect
his expertise in interpreting science for the non-specialist.
We offer free lectures to our customers at various times throughout the year as part of
our goal to provide a lifelong learning experience. You may access these free lectures
online any time between now and December 31, 2005.
In Einstein's Miracle Year, you will learn about 1905, when the great physicist published
major works in diverse areas of physics. Two of them on the quantum nature of light and on
special relativity laid the groundwork for much of 20th-century physics. Others presented
final convincing evidence for the reality of atoms and molecules.
Einstein's name is most closely associated with the Theory of Relativity. In Relativity in
a Nutshell, Dr. Wolfson outlines the essence of relativity and hints at why the theory
requires a radical restructuring of our notions of time and space.
You may listen to these lectures at your computer by choosing to "stream" them, or you may
