Dive into the fascinating world of modern physics with this course on Relativity and Cosmology, part of the Understanding Modern Physics series. Led by instructor Yi Wang from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, this course provides a comprehensive introduction to special relativity, general relativity, and cosmology. You'll explore how space and time are relative to observers and unified into spacetime, understand how gravity emerges from spacetime curvature, and learn about the framework for understanding the evolution of the universe. Through a series of engaging video lectures and quizzes, you'll gain insights into fundamental concepts such as time dilation, length contraction, energy-momentum conservation, black holes, and the expansion of the universe. This course is designed to provide a solid foundation in modern physics concepts, bridging the gap between classical physics and our current understanding of the universe.
