University

After a very long busy term, its nearly over. Into the final week of lectures! Has been knackering! Unfortunately, tonnes to do before I can sit back down and relax over christmas. Those lucky Oxford undergraduates.

Currently working on a Coursework item : Newton to Einstein - waves on strings. Pure fun! Also had an amazingly confusing first lecture of the week on Special Relativity - good old Light travelling at the same speed whether the source is travelling close to the speed of light or not.

For instance, a ball that is thrown with a velocity vb, on a train with velocity vt has a total velocity of v=(vb+vt). However, for light being emitted from a train moving at velocity vt has just the velocity of v - i.e. Speed of light or C.

You try explaining that one at 11am on a monday to a bunch of first years!

Over and out for now!
