Re: active learning for special relativity



Leigh, do you have a reference to the Terrell article? I have been
looking for this for some time, but didn't know Terrell's name. I
tried a web search on Terrell, and found that this may be the most
common name in the entire South--several hundred hits, mostly
genealogical, but none that mentioned relativity.

Jack was referring to Terrell rotation, a (now) well understood
result. Gamow was writing before Terrell published his Phys Rev
article and enlightened us all.
