General Relativity
Special thanks to Devon Henry and Stephen Toback of Duke University's
Academic Media Services in the Office of Information Technology for
helping me create this video series.
"Matter curves spacetime" is my nomination for the most content
expressible in three words or less. What is matter? I'm not sure anyone
really knows. What is spacetime? Check out my video series on special
relativity. What is curvature? Take a graduate level mathematics course
on differential geometry. Or you can just watch these videos for my
quick take on the "happiest thought" of Einstein's life and the best
idea by any human
so far on the true nature of gravity. Amazingly, general relativity
describes gravity as accurately as can be measured and predicted the
Big Bang, black holes, and gravitational waves, years and decades
before they were observed. Enjoy!
