    Description
    54 hours lecture per term. This course is intended for non-science students seeking general education credit in a physical science course without a lab. It presents Einstein's bizarre universe, from black holes to the Big Bang. Relativity's role in everyday life is discussed, including GPS and the magnet stuck to your fridge. Emphasis is placed on concepts rather than manipulating equations. (Degree Credit) (CSU) (UC) AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC
