            In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini sits down to talk about Astrophysics and Cosmology. By using what we've learned this year, we can come to understandings about our universe. Understandings that open ideas to us to help us grasp how our universe works. Join us for this final episode of Crash Course Physics as we head into the final frontier.

            Let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does E=MC2 actually mean? Why is it useful?

            Why is e=mc2 such a big deal? And what about this grumpy cat in a box and probability?

            Shini introduces the idea of Quantum Mechanics and how it helps us understand light.

            We've all heard of relativity, but what is it? How does it relate to light and motion?

            Shini talks to us about optical instruments and how they make magnification possible.

            We've learned about light and how to bend it to our will. But what can we LEARN from it?

            Light's behavior seems counterintuitive. That is, until you figure out light is a wave.

            Sunlight, moonlight, torchlight... They all work the same. Let's talk about light!
        
        
    Maxwell's Equations tell us a lot about electromagnetic interactions and physics.

            We've talked about how AC circuits change voltage, but let's take a deeper look.

            Getting power at home is pretty amazing – and much more complicated than it may seem.

            Megneto helps Shini explain how induction works and why magnetism seems so complicated.
