Relativity in Film: A Resource Guide

[tareqsalahedin]

I want to ask please if you have any films about relativity or modern physics in general please let me know to make it easy to me to pass this course I m studying physics in BIRZEIT UNIVERSITY

Physics visualization = physics made easy?

please let me know to make it easy to me to pass this course I m studying physics in BIRZEIT UNIVERSITY

Hmm... if you are struggling in a physics course, I don't see how visualization websites will render it easy for you to improve your performance. If you haven't already done so, I suggest you ask your instructor for help/advice as soon as possible.

(BTW, if the real question is "how can I pass the physics course in which I am enrolled?", this thread should probably be moved to the "Academic advice" forum here at PF.)

Some interesting general audience films not on the list above are at Searle's website:

They are interesting visualizations of Terrell rotation (among other things), but I'm not sure it will help anyone pass a course.

An extremely basic treatment of SR that won the Pirelli award that might actually help some struggling students is available at

I'd say it's aimed at the high school level, not college level. It does gloss over a few (ok, many) subtle points, though.
