    An interactive, multimedia website created by physicists at the University of New South Wales, which presents a series of animated guides to Einstein’s theory of special relativity. The guides take the form of six modules which proceed from a discussion of Galilean relativity and mechanics, through a look at Einstein’s theory itself, a consideration of time dilation and a look at the implications of the theory called ‘Beyond Relativity’. Each animation comes with detailed background notes, giving more complete explanations.

    The brainchild of a retired physics teacher, the Cassiopeia Project aims to make high definition science videos freely available to ‘anyone who wants them’. The videos are broadly divided into subject areas, including Biology, Chemistry and Physics., with a particular focus on space science and astronomy, and include a series of videos on relativity. The videos are all self-contained but also work as a narrative sequence and are embedded in a ‘science fiction/romance’ story, intended to give structure to the collection and to help teachers and educators with lesson planning. The videos can be downloaded as M4V files, in HD or standard definition and users are free to edit and repurpose the clips as they see fit. Full transcripts of each episode are also available to download.

    Podcasting, Streaming/Download

    This popular American radio programme about science and philosophy is aimed at an audience of general listeners and is characterised by its innovative sound design. Each podcast takes a broad theme, such as Parasites, Placebo or Games and takes an exploratory, associative approach to the subject, aiming to stimulate curiosity rather than reach a definitive conclusion about the chosen topic. Each show is divided into several parts, featuring interviews with experts and occasional ventures into audience participation and ‘thought experiments’. The programme’s host Jad Abumrad is a trained musician and his background as a composer is evident in the podcast’s approach to sound, where music, speech and effects overlap, forming an integral part of the programme’s experimental, freewheeling ethos.
