Sinossi
Libro dopo libro, Leonard Susskind ci ha guidato attraverso la meccanica classica, la meccanica quantistica e la relatività ristretta. In quest'ultimo capitolo della serie del Minimo teorico affronta, con André Cabannes, la teoria della relatività generale di Einstein. Con ironia e chiarezza, i due autori ci introducono alle idee di Einstein, che amplia la legge di Newton sulla gravitazione universale e spiega la gravità in termini di proprietà dello spaziotempo. Partendo dal principio di equivalenza e dal calcolo tensoriale, gli autori si addentrano quindi nei buchi neri, costruiscono le equazioni di campo di Einstein e le risolvono per descrivere le onde gravitazionali. Il loro obiettivo è quello di rendere tutto - per prendere in prestito una celebre frase dello stesso Einstein - "il più semplice possibile, ma non più semplice di così". "Relatività generale" è un'introduzione accessibile ma rigorosa a un argomento tra i più importanti della fisica, una lettura obbligata per chiunque desideri conoscere da vicino la struttura reale dell'universo.

Recensioni
Totally excellent, highest possible rating. This is the fourth in Susskind's "The Theoretical Minimum" series of shorter, friendlier textbooks intended for enthusiasts of science - fans, amateurs, and professionals - who want to actually understand physics. This can only be achieved by using mathema Leggi tutto
Excellent book, even better if treated as a companion to the Lectures, and a genuinely fun read. It does have a weird structure, though, it goes through the required Riemannian Geometry, Special relativity, and Classical Mechanics, then takes a tangent - going off (very interestingly) on black holes Leggi tutto
This book is a (friendly) textbook, not a popular science book. The fourth book in the The Theoretical Minimum series is this one. The concepts of equivalence principle, tensor, curvature, black hole, gravity, and general relativity (not special reletivity) are explained throughout the book. I adore Leggi tutto
After a hiatus of few years, Lenny Susskind comes back to his successful "Theoretical Minimum" series of user-friendly physics textbooks, aimed at a public of science enthusiasts and or college/undergrad students. As noted by another reviewer, this is a textbook, not a "science popularization" book. Leggi tutto
This book cuts the clutter and complexity and succeeds in explaining what General Relativity is all about. There's plenty of maths in there, but you're led through it and it makes sense. It is a brilliant summary, brilliant because other authors get lost - or get me lost - in the long and highly det Leggi tutto
This covers the same material as the lectures Leonard Susskind gave at Stanford that are are available online https://theoreticalminimum.com/course... . The book is accessible to anyone familiar with calculus. It is particularly good at explaining the physical significance of the mathematics. The boo Leggi tutto

General Relativity is the fourth book of the Theoretical Minimum series, and is based on a course of ten lectures of the same name. The previous books included brief explanations of derivatives, integrals, partial derivatives, vectors and so forth, and were apparently aimed at the layman interested
