9. Special and General Relativity 19.09.2026 54λFrontiers/Controversies in Astrophysics (ASTR 160)The discussion of black holes continues with an introduction of the concept of event horizon. A number of problems are worked out to familiarize students with mathematics related to black hole event horizons. In a longer question and answer session, Professor Bailyn discusses the more mystifying aspects of the nature of black holes and the possibility of time travel. Finally, the issues of reconciling Newton's laws of motion with Special Relativity, and Newton's law of gravity with General Relativity, are addressed.00:00 - Chapter 1.

Class 7: Capital Chapters 5-9: Absolute Surplus-Value, Valorization, the Working Day, part 2 19.09.2026 56λHow does the world look from the standpoint of production? What is valorization? What is surplus-value?A chapter by chapter study of Marx’s powerful analysis in Capital: Critique of Political Economy, Volume 1. This book from 1872 is still the best guide to the predatory economic and social system within which we live. The book solves five basic mysteries in our social world. The mysteries are: why social classes struggle against one another, why human beings are in the thrall of things, how a quantity of money turns into more money without seeming to add anything, why some people are forced to work and the more they work the less they make proportional to their effort, and finally, and why it is so hard to transform the system for the better. This course is taught by Paul North, Maurice Natanson Professor of German, Yale University. Prof. North is co-editor of the new English translation and critical edition of Capital Volume 1 by Karl Marx published in 2024 by Princeton University Press. https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691190075/capitalTo view other videos in this course, visit this link. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLh9mgdi4rNewd_0qe4c2lkzXZZQka_QnZ&si=CHOgjCcVD0K378kl Learn more about your ad choices.

8. Jack Kerouac, On the Road 19.09.2026 54λThe American Novel Since 1945 (ENGL 291)Professor Amy Hungerford's lecture on Kerouac's On the Road begins by contrasting the Beats' ambition for language's direct relation to lived experience with a Modernist sense of difficulty and mediation. She goes on to discuss the ways that desire structures the novel, though not in the ways that we might immediately expect. The very blatant pursuit of sex with women in the novel, for example, obscures the more significant desire for connection among men, particularly the narrator Sal's love for Dean Moriarty. The apparent desire for the freedom of the open road, too, Hungerford argues, exists in a necessary conjunction with the idealized comforts of a certain middle-class American domesticity, signaled by the repeated appearance of pie.00:00 - Chapter 1.

1. Introduction 19.09.2026 53λFrontiers/Controversies in Astrophysics (ASTR 160)Professor Bailyn introduces the course and discusses the course material and requirements. The three major topics that the course will cover are (1) exoplanets--planets around stars other than the Sun, (2) black holes--stars whose gravitational pull is so strong that even their own light rays cannot escape, and (3) cosmology--the study of the Universe as a whole. Class proper begins with a discussion on planetary orbits. A brief history of astronomy is also given and its major contributors over the centuries are introduced: Ptolemy, Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler, and Newton.00:00 - Chapter 1.

14. Pulsars 19.09.2026 55λFrontiers/Controversies in Astrophysics (ASTR 160)Professor Bailyn begins with a summary of the four post-Newtonian effects of general relativity that were introduced and explained last time: precession of the perihelion, the deflection of light, the gravitational redshift, and gravitational waves. The concept of gravitational lensing is discussed as predicted by Einstein's general relativity theory. The formation of a gravitational lens can be observed when light from a bright distant source bends around a massive object between the source (such as a quasar) and the observer. Professor Bailyn then offers a slideshow of gravitational lenses. The issue of finding suitable astronomical objects that lend the opportunity to observe post-Newtonian relativistic effects is addressed. The lecture ends with Jocelyn Bell and the discovery of pulsars.00:00 - Chapter 1. Review of Post-newtonian Effects of General Relativity06:15 - Chapter 2. Gravitational Lensing21:05 - Chapter 3.

22. Edward P. Jones, The Known World 19.09.2026 57λThe American Novel Since 1945 (ENGL 291)In the first of her two lectures on Edward P. Jones's The Known World, Professor Hungerford begins from the novel's title, asking what counts as knowledge in the novel and why knowledge is central to the story. This leads to related questions: who is a knower, and what can be known? Highlighting several different versions of how knowledge of the past is communicated through storytelling within the novel, she draws distinctions between Jones's model of historical knowledge and that of other writers on the syllabus. Professor Hungerford suggests that Jones revives a nineteenth-century form of the novel when his narrator takes on a God-like omniscience, but unlike the nineteenth-century novel's narrators, Jones's omniscient narrator provides little in the way of God-like consolation.00:00 - Chapter 1.

8. The Mixed Regime and the Rule of Law: Aristotle's Politics, IV 19.09.2026 54λIntroduction to Political Philosophy (PLSC 114)The lecture discusses Aristotle's comparative politics with a special emphasis on the idea of the regime, as expressed in books III through VI in Politics. A regime, in the context of this major work, refers to both the formal enumeration of rights and duties within a community as well as to the distinctive customs, manners, moral dispositions and sentiments of that community. Aristotle asserts that it is precisely the regime that gives a people and a city their identity.00:00 - Chapter 1.

10. Tests of Relativity 19.09.2026 51λFrontiers/Controversies in Astrophysics (ASTR 160)The lecture begins with the development of post-Newtonian approximations from Newtonian terms. Several problems are worked out in calculating mass, force and energy. A discussion follows about how concepts like mass and velocity are approached differently in Newtonian physics and Relativity. Attention then turns to the discovery that space and time change near the speed of light, and how this realization affected Einstein's theories. Finally, the possibility of traveling faster than the speed of light is addressed, including how physicists might predict from laboratory conditions how this might occur. Muons, unstable particles that form at the top of the Earth's atmosphere, are used as an example.00:00 - Chapter 1. Velocity and Mass in Special Relativity08:34 - Chapter 2.

11. Special and General Relativity (cont.) 19.09.2026 47λFrontiers/Controversies in Astrophysics (ASTR 160)The lecture begins with a comprehensive overview of the historical conditions under which Einstein developed his theories. Of particular impact were the urgent need at the turn of the 19th century to synchronize clocks around the world; Einstein's position at a patent office; and a series of experiments that he himself carried out. In 1905 Einstein published three papers that are still considered the greatest papers in the field of physics. The lecture then moves to General Relativity and how it encompasses Newton's laws of gravity. A visual demonstration shows how space-time undergoes curvature when mass is introduced.
