Endeavors to explain Einstein's general theory of relativity, beginning with the equivalence principle and covering the necessary mathematics of Riemannian spaces and tensor calculus, offering readers a deeper understanding of the universe's real structure.

About the author










Leonard Susskind, André Cabannes

Summary

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.
