Einstein's General Theory of Relativity | Lecture 12

Lecture 12 of Leonard Susskind's Modern Physics concentrating on General Relativity. Recorded December 9, 2008 at Stanford University.

This Stanford Continuing Studies course is the fourth of a six-qarter sequence of classes exploring the essential theoretical foundations of modern physics, focusing. The topics covered in this course focus on classical mechanics. Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch Professor of Physics at Stanford University.

Have viewed all of Prof. Susskind's lecture. These videos are an incredible gift to all of us from a world class physicist.

i am following the whole lectures, but where is 13? i can´t find it!! thank you very much prof. susskind!!

my respects to the family of poor alice whose atoms disintegrated as she landed on the r=0 hyperbola...

love the video really good

the problem is measuring the distance. First solve one dimension x ,y, z alone then you can solve two dimension x and y and then you can solve three dimension x and y and z. so far as I know the problem is you solve the distance of one dimension by two dimension. I have a formula how to solve one dimension which is straight line.
