| It is my belief that the geometry of space-time cannot be comprehended without having some understanding of the theory that drives it. This section therefore serves as the opening-learning page In terms of content, the section will focus not on the historical finding of GR by Einstein, as this is not the intention of the package. Instead it will endeavor to get across the basics of GR by introducing the Special Theory of Relativity (SR) and by covering the following subjects: |
