This series of videos, presented by Umar Ahmed Badami (CDB 2021 and CEO of Brilliants, a tutoring organization dedicated to helping underrepresented minorities) will discuss the physics on the scale of atoms and of galaxies.

In Lesson 2, we鈥檒l discuss spacetime diagrams, the derivation of Lorentz transformations, and investigate some cool consequences of using them both together.
