Episode 50 — “The Relativity Revolution: The Life and Times of Albert Einstein — Part I” — is now Live!
This week’s episode was a doozy! Not only did I get into the big man himself — Albert Einstein — I also attempted to explain how Relativity works. Only this time, I used grown-up science-y terms and tried extra hard to explain how he arrived at it. To do that, I also had to explain all the scientists he drew inspiration from arrived at theirs! And to think, I only got to the halfway mark in his life and didn’t even cover the years when he was a refugee and his involvement in the Manhattan Project.
All that will be the subject of Part II, as well as the legacy he left in his wake. Check out Part I by following the links below. And please, let me know if I explained it in a way that made sense to you. As Einstein is often quoted as saying, “If you can’t explain it to a six-year-old, you don’t understand it yourself.” That’s a pretty high bar, but it’s a challenge I accepted. Please let me know how I did.
