A First Look at Relativity and Gravitation
Includes lecture notes and question sheets. |
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 con |
Cambridge Relativity
Non-technical descriptions of cosmology, black holes, cosmic strings, inflation, quantum cosmology, and string theory. |
Cosmology
This page contains information about the course Cosmology and exobiology read in the fall semester 1999 at the Physics Institute of NTNU, Trondheim |
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. |
General Relativity
This homepage contains lecture notes on the course of general relativity FX2/H97 read in the fall semester 1997 at the Physics Institute of NTNU, Trondheim |
General Relativity and Cosmology
An online notes from the University of British Columbia featuring simple explanations of cosmological phenomena. |
General Relativity and Cosmology for Undergraduates
An online draft copy of an undergraduate text book by John Norbury (PDF). |
General Relativity Tutorial (John Baez)
This is bunch of interconnected web pages that serve as an informal introduction to general relativity. The goal is to demystify general relativity and get across the key ideas without big complicated calculations. |
