Anthony Zee gives us a tour of gravity through Einstein's Theory of General Relativity.
Anthony's book "On Gravity" is available now - [ Ссылка ].
Starting with the discovery of gravity waves, Anthony goes on to explain how gravity can be understood in comparison to other classical field theories, presents the idea of curved spacetime and the action principle, and explores cutting-edge topics, including black holes and Hawking radiation. And what can our current knowledge tell us about what we don't yet know, from quantum gravity to mysteries of dark matter and energy.
