About The relativistic Universe

If you are interested in using quantitative physical methods to understand relativistic and high-energy processes in the Universe, and already have a good background in Level 2 maths, physics and astronomy, then this is the course for you. This course comprises three parts that present, in turn, the theoretical basis for modern cosmology, described by Einsteins special and general theories of relativity; cosmological observations of the local and distant Universe that are used to understand its structure and evolution; and high-energy phenomena in the Universe including interacting binary stars, active galactic nuclei and gamma-ray bursts.
