Lecture 10: Spacetime Curvature

Name: Lecture 10: Spacetime Curvature
Uploaded: 2020-08-26T14:49:01Z
Duration: 1 h 20 min 53 s
Description: Description: How a certain spacetime duplicates the kinematics of Newtonian gravity for slow motion (continuation of lecture 9). Spacetime curvature, deduced by examining parallel transport of a vector around an infinitesimal parallelogram, described by the Riemann tensor (a 4 index tensor with 20 independent components). Instructor: Prof. Scott Hughes
