Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity
3900 Vermont Street, San Diego, 92103
Cost: $10
This talk is about two simple principles that lead simply and logically to the conclusion that time is relative. John Popp will give the logical argument, its ramifications for travel into the future, and touch on the direct experimental verification of Einstein’s ideas. The goal would be to convince the audience that, contrary to everyday experience, this rather shocking idea is easily understood and accepted by reasonably intelligent people.
The San Diego Association for Rational Inquiry is a community resource that hosts lectures on various topics (science, history, etc.) and sponsors prizes in the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair every spring.
