Want to learn the basics of relativity and quantum physics, but easy?

Einstein for Everyone

Enjoy everyone. Just about all your major questions about relativity, quantum physics, the universe, time travel, Einstein's theories, and more. Easy to understand.

There've been a lot of threads lately with people talking about things like this (and a lot of bad information), so I figured I'd post the real stuff without all the math.

If all objects emit electromagnetic radiation according to their mass and black holes are infinite mass how come they don't emit infinite electromagnetic radiation?

i need an even more dumbed down version

tell me the outcome once they have figured out the results to schrodinger's cat....

for those of you who dont know what I am talking about see Schrödinger's cat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Have any of checked out Khan Academy? Learn anything from Maths to Finance and it is actually understandable.

Wish that was around when I was in High School/University - wouldn't have had to rely on drunk teachers or lecturers who were forced to lecture for their tenure but totally SMEGGED up any interest you had in those subjects.

If your interested in taking a class on this, but dont wanna fork over the 50k for Oxford Yale, etc. , check out iTunes U, at least thats what I did.

What are your thoughts on m-theory PapaJohn? To me, a theory who's predictions are untestable is worthless.

Thanks papajohn, that's awsome

Relativity - What I have learnt in my school.

Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity. :bowdown:

well, m-Theory is just a superset on top of string theory, which I'm not much a fan of in the first place. Like you said, no experimental backing and really no way to test it

schrödinger was trying to use the cat example to show how stupid the copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics was - nowadays it's being used as the opposite, which is ridiculous.
