Summary, etc. "Albert Einstein, a German-born scientist, developed a comprehensive physical relativity theory that includes general relativity. Gravity, one of the fundamental forces in the universe, is the subject of general relativity. Gravity characterizes macroscopic phenomena, and so general relativity explains large-scale physical events. Einstein's principle of equivalence is the basis for general relativity: on a local scale, itis hard to differentiate between physical effects caused by gravity and those caused by acceleration. Gravity is viewed as a geometric phenomenon arising from space-time curvature. The answer to field equations that characterize general relativity can provide solutions to various physical events, including planetary dynamics, the originand destruction of stars, black holes, and the universe's expansion.<br/>The discussion of the books starts with the fundamentals of general relativity, followed by the essential principles of general relativity. Also, the concepts of space-time and black holes in general relativity are described in this book. Moreover, manifolds and coordinates, the key concepts to understanding general relativity, are also described in detail in this book. Einstein's field equations lay the foundation of general relativity; these are also discussed in detail. Cosmological models are also explained in this book; these models are helpful in the derivation of various general relativity equations. Experimental tests of general relativity and variational approach to general relativity are two significant concepts in general relativity. These concepts are discussed in detail in this book"-- Back cover.
