Is There a More Comprehensive Course on Special Relativity?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a special relativity course offered on the Science World U website. Participants express curiosity about the course's comprehensiveness and whether it serves as a sufficient introduction or if a more advanced course is available. The consensus suggests that while the course provides essential foundational knowledge at a good pace, it may not cover the full depth of special relativity. Brian Greene, a recognized expert, is mentioned as the instructor, which adds credibility to the course. The course is noted to be free, making it a low-risk option for learners interested in the topic. A link to the course is provided for further exploration.

How would we know unless you supply a link?
 
I think it is enough as an introduction. A course that deals with special relativity would include much more than that course. Although, what they cover there is at a good pace and essential to know if you're going to study special relativity.
 
It's hard to judge from the website. Of course Brian Greene is a well-known expert on relativity, and I guess, he'll give a nice introduction. What's not clear to me is, whether you have to pay something. If it's free of charge, I'd try it. Then there's nothing to loose.
