I'm trying to decide what classes to take next year. (I will be a junior in hs) I have already taken 3 years of Spanish. Would taking Spanish 4 better my prospects of getting into Stanford or should I take another language/class?

  • Special Relativity | Lecture 5
  • (May 7, 2012) Leonard Susskind answers a question regarding material covered in the previous lecture. Following his explanation he continues into the concepts of fields and particles as they exist in special relativity. In 1905, while only twenty-six years old, Albert Einstein published "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" and effectively extended classical laws of relativity to all laws of physics, even electrodynamics. In this course, Professor Susskind takes a close look at the special theory of relativity and also at classical field theory. Concepts addressed here include space-time and four-dimensional space-time, electromagnetic fields and their application to Maxwell's equations. Originally presented in the Stanford Continuing Studies Program.

“It took us three years and 750 tries to make it work, but we finally did it.”

Stanford scientists have devised a way to create bacteria with rewritable DNA - able to store and express genes at will. It's the genetic equivalent of creating a bit, and it could help us further understand the data behind biology.
