The reason I chose to limit myself to special relativity is that we didn't have the time to go through the second half of the book; also, with a limited understanding of math and science (seeing as I'm only a freshman), I thought it would be best to stick with the half that deals with uniform...

Thank you! I'll be sure to talk to someone about moving the thread, and about SR. :) My dad says thank you also.

I'm sorry; I seem to have caused a bit of confusion. That particular volume in Apologia Science deals with Earth science, introductory chemistry, and introductory physics. There's only a couple paragraphs in it that deal with relativity; since the curriculum was written for seventh graders (I...

The assignment was to pick anything out of the science book we're using (Apologia Science, Exploring Creation with Physical Science) and write an essay on it. I (being the crazy girl that I am) went and checked out Relativity: the Special and the General Theory (which misleadingly says that it's...
