September 19, 2009http://galileoandeinstein.physics.virginia.edu/
The course explores two revolutions in our perception of the universe. The first, in which Galileo played the leading role, was the realization that what we see in the heavens—the moon, the planets, the sun and stars—are physical objects.
The second revolution was Einstein’s realization that this was not the whole truth—space and time are not as straightforward as they first appear, but are related to each other in a simple but unexpected way.

Multimedia Physics Studios

The Multimedia Physics Studios consists of a collection of GIF animations and accompanying explanations of major physics concepts. The animations cover common physics principles discussed in a first-year high school physics course. The animation and discussion have been written specifically for beginning students of physics. While the animations provide a strong visual reinforcement of physics concepts, they are not interactive. Interactive Shockwave animations are available at the Shockwave Physics Studios. Related information and discussion of physics concepts can be found at The Physics Classroom tutorial.
