Felix Bloch Professor of Theoretical Physics
This lecture by Leonard Susskind rigorously derives the Einstein field equations, demonstrating the equivalence between spacetime curvature, quantified by the Einstein tensor, and the distribution of energy and momentum, represented by the stress-energy tensor. This constitutes a fundamental pillar of general relativity.
(November 26, 2012) Leonard Susskind derives the Einstein field equations of general relativity and demonstrates how they equate spacetime curvature as expressed by the Einstein tensor, with the energy and momentum within that spacetime as expressed by the stress-energy tensor.
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.
