Einstein's General Theory of Relativity | Lecture 7

Lecture 7 of Leonard Susskind's Modern Physics concentrating on General Relativity. Recorded November 3, 2008 at Stanford University.

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

Thank you Pr. Susskind for these amazing vids!So generous of u to share ur knowledge with the world. We need more people like you.

excellent... it's amazing that you can learn this stuff at home so easily. Well not easily but you know what i mean...

urrgh..that annoying guy again arguing about a Coulomb of charge(1:30:00)....-he needs to just shut his mouth ...

[adelle0001]

nice one! very informative

[agapitoflores001]

He is an Einstein look alike, only with less hair.

@warex3d esta dificil entender si esta en ingles ademas su traductor es una basura

Regarding discussion at 1:27:00, if you isolate 1C of charge than as Professor said have to get out of the room immediately. The thing about capacitor is that both +ve and -ve charges are very close to each other so the net effect cancels out.

The teachers with deep understanding of the material explain things so simply. A grad student would have filled the board with gibberish. If you really know something, you should be able to explain it to your mother.

@StudyAcademic Google "Christina Ricci pics" and you'll see.

the flux capacitor!
