How to get around this home page

If you had any difficulties navigating our site, we are very sorry, you can flame us through the contact page. But finally you found the help button and you are being helped now: read the stuff below and perhaps you will get enlightened about the navigation around here.

Structure

The pages are called lessons here, and these are organised into topics. The lessons inside the topics, and the topics inside the site also have a given order. The topics are built on each other, from the very principles of physics to the most sophisticated equations of relativity. Thus, if you are somewhat educated in physics, you may want to skip some of the first lessons, and start directly at the Lorentz - Fitzgerald Transformation. But also apart from that there could be infinite situations when you do not want to follow the set order of the pages, but step back somewhat to read the previous lesson again, or check something in a basic topic, or just jump ahead driven by couriousity, or saying 'oh boy, I know all these.. gimme something REALLY tough'... and that's why we provided full movement in this web of pages, through the navigation tools.

Navigation Tools

You have three navigation tools at your command: the Navigation Bar (NavBar), the ArrowBar, and the text links.
NavBar
This is the great rectangle on the left, with the picture-fragment of Dalí in disgusting green frame, and those funny little clockings everywhere. You can flame MaXiGaS, the designer, if you feel it is ugly and chaotic and ouuhhh.
Below the picture there is a list of the topics, up to down from the easiest to the toughest. You can click on a rectangle and it will take you to the topic it enrectangles :). And then, certain thingies below are encircled, these are more anti-intuitive links, descibed here: the question mark is a gateway to this very place, the 'i' button gives you general info on the authors, the project, the sources of information, and else. The remaining button plays the animation of the NavBar, or stops it if it is being played. This button serves no practical reason, but it is fun :)
ArrowBar
This should be found in the lower right corner of the window, looking rather dull, uptil you move over it. If this happens, the arrow which you are over comes alive, and in the centre you see where will you fly if you click. Upwards you get to the topic that is before the current topic, in other words, what is easier to understand. Downwards you get to a harder topic. If you jump a topic, you always find yourself at the first lesson of the topic. You can also move between the lessons with the horizontal arrows. For instance, if you are at Systems of Coordinates, lesson 1, the left arrow moves you to the last lesson of Unit Measurement Systems (note the list of topics on the upper left of the screen), and the right arrow thrusts you to Systems of Coordinates, lesson 2. Right? :)
Text links
These are at the bottom of the page, and follow the text of the lesson, so that if you done reading the real stuff you come down to these. The next/back links move you in the given order of lessons, just as just as the arrows of the ArrowBar, and the 'Main Page' link is a teleport to the gate trhough which you entered the whole complex; you know, where you have chosen the technical level and the language. If you notice in an instant that your techno-chariot cannot ride the high-level pages, you can switch down to the low-tech version from here.

That's it for now, if you still feel unconfortable, try the message board, or write an angry message to the authors :)
