Phys 609 Galileo and Einstein: This is a graduate credit
distant-learning physics course. View Lecture/Demonstrations on video
tapes at home and examine how new understandings of the natural world
developed, taking two famous scientists as case studies. Galileo was
the first to appreciate the importance of experiment, while Einstein
was the first to realize time is not absolute and that mass can be
converted to energy. This course can be used for re-certification,
endorsement credit, and can be used in partial fulfillment of the
