General Relativity Lecture 6

Felix Bloch Professor of Theoretical Physics

2:04:23·2012·graduate level

Leonard Susskind elucidates the core physics of black holes, detailing the properties of event horizons, photon spheres, and gravitational singularities within the framework of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.

(October 29, 2012) Leonard Susskind presents the physics of black holes including the event horizon, the photon sphere, and the singularity.

This series is the fourth installment of a six-quarter series that explore the foundations of modern physics. In this quarter, Professor Susskind focuses on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and in this lecture Leonard Susskind moves the course into discussions of gravity and basic gravitational fields.
