The stories of Time, Relativity and Navigation are inextricably linked. This talk will bring out the history and physics of the connections. We will see that the practical problem of navigation led to better clocks, and a better understanding of Time and the behavior of Light. These developments fed into the Theory of Relativity and culminated in the Global Positioning system (GPS), which we now routinely use today to find our way.
Don't miss this opportunity to dive into the mysteries of the relativity and navigation!
