Series Details

About

This is a series for all the physics/astronomy/astrophysics enthusiasts out there!! This series is targeted toward beginners/amateurs who want to know more and understand the basic functioning of our universe. Note that these series will NOT be mathematical!! It'll be in the form of discussions and explanations of puzzling yet beautiful phenomena that takes place in our universe. We'll be covering vast topics involving old and new hypotheses, discoveries, and the future of the universe!

Tutor Qualifications

I'm a physics enthusiast and have read a lot of books on the topics and I love research!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Try to attend all sessions. Please inform priorly if you're missing one. I will schedule a review session for you.

About the Tutor

Hey there, it's Anshu! I'm a curious person who loves to learn, explore, and research. Physics and Mathematics are my favourite subjects, and I could talk about them for hours. When I'm not busy unravelling the mysteries of the universe or diving deep into the mind-boggling world of physics theories and equations, you can find me hacking (don't worry, always ethically 😉), coding and losing myself in the pages of a great book. And if that's not enough, you might catch me debating in exhilarating MUNs! Looking forward to seeing you in my sessions!

Session 4

Physics

~Space Time~ We'll be discussing 'Space-Time', Einstein's General Relativity in a non-mathematical format. This session is very important as we'll be referring to the contents in this session very often. I don't recommend skipping this session.

Physics

~Time Dilation~ We'll be covering 'time dilation'. The concept that time is not universal, it's relative as described by Einstein in his theory of General Relativity. We'll be using a little math in this session (Don't worry, nothing too complex, just basic math. You'll be able to understand it without the math as well).
