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