General Relativity Lecture 8

Felix Bloch Professor of Theoretical Physics

1:23:09·2012·graduate level

This lecture develops the coordinate transformations necessary for constructing Penrose diagrams, then applies them to illustrate the causal structure and physical processes involved in black hole formation within the framework of General Relativity.

(November 12, 2012) Leonard Susskind develops the coordinate transformations used to create Penrose diagrams, and then uses them to describe the physics of black hole creation.

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.
