Explore the fundamental concepts of special relativity in this graduate-level lecture from the Warsaw4PhD and GeoPlanet PhD schools. Delve into kinematics in special relativity, examining the relativistic addition of velocities and the intriguing phenomenon of Lorentz contraction. After a brief break, engage with problem sheets to reinforce your understanding. Conclude the lecture by investigating the Doppler effect and its implications in relativistic physics. Led by Mikołaj Korzyński from the Center for Theoretical Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, this comprehensive 1 hour and 37-minute session offers an in-depth exploration of these advanced topics in theoretical physics.
