« back to classes page

In 1905, Albert Einstein published five scientific papers that changed our view of the world. The account of how a 26-year-old patent clerk came to these discoveries is one of the greatest stories in science. This presentation includes a summary of Einstein’s early life and an attempt to explain his famous results on time and space, as well as the most famous equation in science: E = mc2. 

Don Ellison is a professor emeritus in the Department of Physics at North Carolina State University. Ellison’s research has concentrated on the theory of cosmic rays, high-energy astrophysics and the evolution of supernova remnants.
