Fear of Physics uses animations and simple language to teach the theory of relativity.

This well-written explanation of relativity includes animations and pictures which may be helpful in understanding a tough topic.

Using an example of light bouncing back and forth between two mirrors in a rocket, time dilation is explained in this resource. Step-by-step calculations using Einstein's time dilation equation are shown.

James Clerk Maxwell was one of the most influential scientists of the nineteenth century. His theoretical work on electromagnetism and light largely determined the direction that physics would take in the early twentieth century. Indeed,...
