The Mysterious Behaviour of Time: Einstein's Revolutionary Ideas | Talk
What is "time"? Is it the same for everyone? Can we affect the flow of time? Can time run slower or faster for you compared to someone else?
In 1905, an unassuming 26 years-old Albert Einstein published four groundbreaking papers that completely changed our understanding of space and time, which subsequently revolutionised our view of the universe.
In this exciting talk, explore these ideas with Dr Lu Heng Sunny Yu, Teaching Fellow in Mathematics at the University of Southampton.
You will take a brief tour through the mind-bending ideas such as time slowing down for people moving faster. You will also explore how these crazy concepts are not only tested to incredible accuracy even today over 100 years later, but are also fundamental ideas that forms the bedrock of all of modern science!
