Felix Bloch Professor of Theoretical Physics
Professor Susskind derives the weak-field approximation of Einstein's field equations, demonstrating their transformation into wave equations. He then develops the theory of gravitational waves from these solutions.
(December 3, 2012) Leonard Susskind demonstrates that Einstein's field equations become wave equations in the approximation of weak gravitational fields. The solutions for these equations create the theory of gravity waves.
This series is the fourth installment of a six-quarter series that explore the foundations of modern physics. In this quarter Susskind focuses on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
