Description

In the final lecture of six lectures we are showing from Fernando Alday's 'Special Relativity' third year course, we explain why the twin paradox is not really a paradox, and we work out how to add velocities. You can watch other lectures in the course here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4d5ZtfQonW13GWAAaLi0YoSvK76coptp You can also watch many other student lectures via our main Student Lectures playlist (also check out specific student lectures playlists): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4d5ZtfQonW0A4VHeiY0gSkX1QEraaacE All first and second year lectures are followed by tutorials where students meet their tutor in pairs to go through the lecture and associated problem sheet and to talk and think more about the maths. Third and fourth year lectures are followed by classes.
