The latest volume in the New York Times–bestselling physics series explains Einstein’s masterpiece: the general theory of relativityHe taught us classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, & special relativity. Now, physicistLeonard Susskind, assisted by a new collaborator,André Cabannes, returns to tackleEinstein’s general theory of relativity. Starting from the equivalence principle & covering the necessary mathematics of Riemannian spaces & tensor calculus,Susskind & Cabannesexplain the link between gravity & geometry.They delve into black holes, establishEinsteinfield equations, & solve them to describe gravity waves. The authors provide vivid explanations that, to borrow a phrase fromEinsteinhimself, are as simple as possible (but no simpler).An approachable yet rigorous introduction to one of the most important topics in physics,General Relativityis a must-read for anyone who wants a deeper knowledge of the universe’s real structure.
