Week 9 26-30 October
This week's video is a short lecture that's just a brief overview of General Relativity. You're going to have to spend some serious time in the text to get to the nitty-gritties.
Remember, the purpose of these topics on Relativity (both Special and General) is get you up to speed on the nature of space and spacetime.
The Launchpad homework assignment that goes with this lecture is based on chapter 12, section 11.
Take your time and READ!

Important!
Read this first before watching video.
If you can print it, do so.
(Don't just skim it in 30 seconds-read it!)
Here is a topic from the Physics course that is relevant in Astronomy. I've included the pages from the Physics Workbook to make it easier to follow the lecture.
Saturday, 03 October
Fot those of you having some difficulty with conversions (seconds to years, years to seconds, etc.) here's a lesson on the topic from the Physics course. Also, I,ve included a brief instruction sheet.
