In this unit you will learn the postulates of Einstein's Special Theory
of Relativity. You will also learn about some of the consequences of
relativity - some of these consequences seem, at first, to be strange if
not incredible, but all of them make perfect sense because they follow
logically from Einstein's postulates. You will also learn how to
transform observations between frames of reference. We will also
investigate some of the energy and mass effects of Special Relativity
