These lectures are amazingly well crafted.
Introducing the Ricci tensor.
Equation for local conservation of charge dQ/dt =
-divergence(J).
View charge density as the 0th component of J. Then
dJ^mu/dx^mu = 0.
Introducing the energy-momentum tensor.
Local conservation of energy-momentum: dT^mu^nu/dx^mu = 0.
As usual brilliant and understandable
Very nice for bignors
Great stuff and great lecture, but hard and not intuitive.
Takes time to appreciate, but you eventually do.
Take this moron out of here
thank you for this good job.
Are there plans to publish the rest of the lectures?
Someone?
Great lectures in difficult Course!
