FEATURES | - Maxwell's Equations puts the last piece of the electricity and magnetism puzzle -- displacement current -- firmly into place.
- Optics demonstrates Maxwell's theory that electromagnetic waves of all wavelengths are all basically the same phenomena.
- The Michelson-Morley Experiment shows how this exquisitely designed measurement of the motion of the Earth through the aether resulted in the most brilliant failure in scientific history.
- The Lorentz Transformation shows how the meanings of equations for time and space are dependent on the person conducting the measurements.

The Best of the Set by James M. Volo  5 Stars
May 08, 2008
The Mechanical Universe Series is a must view for students of Physics, but this volume includes the best explanation of relativity that I have seen in 40 years of teaching the subject.
