Description
General Relativity: A Theoretical Minimum
Stanford physicist Leonard Susskind and André Cabannes introduce readers to one of the most famous and fascinating topics in physics: Einstein's theory of general relativity. With wit and clarity, they explain Einstein's ideas, which refine Newton's law of universal gravitation to explain gravity as a property of space and time.
This book provides a vivid explanation of topics like the equivalence principle, tensor mathematics, gravitational fields, and black holes, written with a blend of real math, entertaining sketches, and humor. It's an approachable yet rigorous introduction to one of the most important topics in physics, making it a valuable resource for amateur scientists and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of physics' real structure.
