Inside Einstein's mind

[QC16.E5 I45 2016 DVD]

"On November 25th, 1915, Einstein published his greatest work: general relativity. The theory transformed our understanding of nature's laws and the entire history of the cosmos, reaching back to the origin of time itself. Now, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Einstein's achievement, NOVA tells the inside story of Einstein's masterpiece. The story begins with the intuitive thought experiments that set Einstein off on his quest and traces the revolution in cosmology that is still playing out in today's labs and observatories. Discover the simple but powerful ideas at the heart of relativity, illuminating the theory--and Einstein's brilliance--as never before. From the first spark of an idea to the discovery of the expanding universe, the Big Bang, black holes, and dark energy, NOVA uncovers the inspired insights and brilliant breakthroughs of 'the perfect theory.'"—from this website: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/inside-einsteins-mind.html

Forces and motion the physics of car crashes

[QC133 .F67 2015 DVD]

"Bring Newton's three laws of motion to life with this DVD that uses extraordinary slow motion HD footage filmed during car crash testing to explore how energy is distributed during the fractions of a second when cars crash. The DVD explores ideas of inertia, resultant forces, energy and momentum, but applies it in the real world context of designing air bags, crumple zones and seats to protect the passenger"—from this website: https://www.pumpkin-interactive.co.uk/products/forces-and-motion-the-physics-of-car-crashes
