   > that book has absolutely never been seen before in any relativity textbooks. It's a book that is designed to try to teach physical intuition to a new generation of physicists who are just beginning to get interested in relativity because quasars and pulsars have recently been discovered in the cosmic microwave background. Suddenly, it's relevant to the astronomical world. We need to build a generation that thinks physically. That's what the

   Then you intuit something, then you  go in and do a calculation, you see whether you're   right or not, and you get the details right.  The foundation for physical intuition, for John,   for me, and for Stephen Hawking, was pictures,  mental pictures or diagrams that you draw, as   well as words that go along with those pictures. The ratio of words and pictures to equations in   that book has absolutely never been seen before  in any relativity textbooks.

   Brian: Now, one thing in   that book, which is interesting to me is  that when physicists typically learn the   mathematical methods of general relativity,  differential geometry to be concrete,   most physicists learn it in a so called  coordinate form, which is the more nuts and   bolts ingredients necessary to really carry out  certain kinds of calculations. You're at great   pains in that book to do both the coordinate  version, and the coordinate-free version,   which is perhaps maybe the way more mathema…

   The point is that there's no new particle, no new field, no new force that we will ever discover that will have an impact on our literal every day biology or environment, like what holds this table up. We hope to discover a lot more physics. It will not affect you or what you're made out of. So I know this is a-- I keep being told this is a technically inclined audience. So you don't like the picture. The picture makes you nervous. You want an equation. So here it is. This is what Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek has called the Core Theory. And he invented the name to emphasize that we usually dis…

   geneous than the former ones. Many an ancient dispute which to-day interests nobody any more is left out and many new things are added. The character of the book has remained the same. With respect to the monstrous conceptions of absolute space and absolute time I can retract nothing. Here I have only shown more clearly than hitherto that Newton indeed spoke much about these things, but throughout made no serious application of them. His fifth corollary1 contains the only practically usable (probably approximate) inertial system.

   Professor Ramamurti Shankar: So, let's begin now. First of all, I'm assuming all of you have some idea what special relativity means. There are two theories of relativity, one is the special theory and one is the general theory. The general theory is something that we won't do in any detail. Special theory is something we will do in reasonable detail. So, it's good to begin by asking some of you what is your present understanding of what the subject is all about. Yes, sir? The Yale cap, what do you think it's about? Student: It's about relative speed in two reference systems. Professor Ramamur…

   Why did some scientists react with what one called "amazement and horror" to these conclusions? Why was it such a shock to them? So we were hoping we'd find a more simple explanation, something mundane, but... But instead, you found a new force in the universe? Well, it would appear that way. ♪ ♪ NARRATOR: One of Baltimore's hidden gems is the George Peabody Library at Johns Hopkins University. It has been called "one of the most beautiful library spaces in the world."
