Falling into a Black Hole (Andrew Hamilton) Fall into a black hole on a real free fall orbit. All distortions of images are real, both general relativistic from the gravitational bending of light, and special relativistic from the near light speed orbit. Bondi K-Calculus A simple derivation of Einstein's theory of relativity which is widely taught to undergraduate physics students. The mathematics required though make this easy for anyone to understand. Modern Relativity A set of notes outlining general relativity and its applications, including modern theories of FTL travel and wormholes. Black Holes A very thorough introduction, studies the Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstrom, and Kerr solutions using a variety of coordinate systems. Additional topics include gravitational collapse, horizons, singularities, Carter-Penrose diagrams (aka conformal compactification), Hawking radiation and black hole thermodynamics A First Look at Relativity and Gravitation Includes lecture notes and question sheets. Spacetime 101 (Patricia Schwarz) some basic background covering how mathematical models of space and time have evolved since ancient times, from the Pythagorean Rule to Newtonian mechanics, Special Relativity and General Relativity. The Meaning of Einstein's Equations An introduction to general relativity Tensors and Relativity (Peter Dunsby) A complete online course in tensors and relativity Relativity and Cosmology undergraduate course notes include both special relativity (e.g., spacetime, Lorentz invariance, various "paradoxes") and general relativity (e.g., equivalence principle, black holes, gravitational waves, experimental tests of gtr). Apparently a survey course for non-majors, with little math but some very nice graphics. General Relativity Tutorials Detailed steps on how to Linearize Einstein's field equations of general relativity. More Courses and Tutorials Sites |
