Swooning Over Relativity: Understanding The Math Behind General Relativity by Tanay Bhadra
Requirements: .PDF reader, 1.15 Mb
Overview: Special Theory of Relativity and the General Theory of Relativity are arguably the most significant physical theories ever invented. They have helped thousands of physicists understand the nature of the universe. However, to a high-school student like me, these theories may seem like a never-ending labyrinth of intricate math formulae and equations that make the journey of learning these theories unpalatable.
Entering this labyrinth to produce a well-researched paper on naked singularities that I was working on, I was required to devour Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. Eventhough my foundational knowledge from various academic resources, summer programs, workshops and interactions with active researchers helped me to construct the building blocks, understanding this theory in totality posed a challenge. After my initial struggle, I concluded that the best way to approach it would be to first familiarize myself with the mathematics behind the theory, a poetry of logic in Einstein’s words, and then take it further. It worked for me, and I began to appreciate the poetry.
