General relativity (Physics)

This text is based on a course given at the Mathematical Institute in Oxford over many years to final-year mathematics students. Chapters include: 'Newtonian Gravity', 'Curved Space-Time', 'Tensor Calculus', 'Spherical Symmetry', 'Black Holes', 'Rotating Bodies' and 'Gravitational Waves'.

Let us journey, with beloved physicist Carlo Rovelli, into the heart of a black hole. Let us slip beyond its boundary, the horizon, and tumble - on and on - down this crack in the universe. As we plunge, we'll see geometry fold, we'll feel the equations draw tight around us. Eventually, we'll pas...
