Description

This lecture covers the basics of special relativity, including Einstein's postulates, the relativity of Galileo and Newton, and the contraction of distances. It delves into the mystery of muons, discussing their generation, half-life, and detection. The lecture also explores time dilation, the flow of muons, and the implications of relativity on their travel time.
