General Relativity Explained in 7 Levels of Difficulty
This video covers the General theory of Relativity, developed by Albert Einstein, from basic simple levels (it's gravity, curved space) through to the concepts of how curved spacetime is represented by psuedo-Riemannian manifolds with...

What Exactly is Spacetime? Explained in Ridiculously Simple Words
Spacetime, as a concept, is related to a space that consists of 4 dimensions instead of the regular 3-dimensional space. As early as 1905, Einstein proposed a now widely popular theory that the speed of light is independent of the motion...

Is The Future Predetermined By Quantum Mechanics?
Einstein’s special theory of relativity combines space and time into one dynamic, unified entity - spacetime. But if time is connected to space, could the universe be anything but deterministic? And does that mean that the future is...

Special relativity explained in under three minutes
In November 1915, Albert Einstein completed his general theory of relativity and transformed the world of physics. This theory took Einstein’s earlier theory of special relativity, which applied only to objects in a constant state of...

Is Time Travel Impossible?
Time travel stories are cool because both the past and future are somehow more interesting that the present and because everyone wants a redo. But so far it appears we’re doomed to live consumed by regret in the eternal, boring present....

Could the Universe End by Tearing Apart Every Atom?
The universe is expanding, and that expansion is accelerating. We don’t know what’s causing that acceleration, but that hasn’t stopped us from giving it a name. We call this unknown influence dark energy. The observed acceleration is,...

Brian Greene and Alan Alda Discuss Why Einstein Hated Quantum Mechanics
Albert Einstein was not a fan of quantum mechanics. He was annoyed by the uncertain, random nature of the universe it implied (hence the famous quote "God does not play dice with the universe"). So, Einstein tried to develop a unified...
