What is Relativity: Forces and Rigid Bodies about?
This lecture discusses several topics in special relativity including causality, rigid bodies, forces, and relativistic strings. It explains that rigid bodies make no sense in relativity because pushing on one end would require effects to occur before their causes for objects longer than the distance light can travel, violating relativity. Forces can be analyzed using momentum and energy relationships that hold in both relativistic and non-relativistic contexts. Relativistic strings are introduced as object
