This Quicktime movie plays a slideshow on Einstein's Relativity with a series of animated storyboards. This is such a kinetic subject, one which seems particularly suited to the use of "dynamic" storyboards in coming to grips with its many paradoxes. My development of these storyboards grew out of a public talk that I gave at the 2005 SFU Nobels and Other Prizes series (the original talk is available on-line here; there was also an SFUNews feature on that series). The storyboards are also shown on my Talks page; select the "Outreach" panel there. I have also taught several undergraduate classes with an SR component (see the first sixty pages of my lecture notes for Phys 285), and I use these storyboards in my lectures as well as continuing to use them in a variety of talks for general audiences


Note:
This movie has audio (beware of some loud "pings" when you see light bulbs!), so please turn down your volume!
