โฆ Synopsis
All elementary particles feel gravitation the same. More specifically, particles with different masses experience a different gravitational force, but in such a way that all of them acquire the same acceleration and. given the same initial conditions, follow the same path. Such universality of response is the most fundamental characteristic of the gravitational interaction. It is a unique property, peculiar to gravitation: no other basic interaction of Nature has it.

Thoroughly revised and updated, this textbook provides a pedagogical introduction to relativity. It is self-contained, but the reader is expected to have a basic knowledge of theoretical mechanics and electrodynamics. It covers the most important features of both special and general relativity, as w
There arc three essential ideas underlying general relativity (OR). The first is that space time may be described as a curved, four-dimensional mathematical structure called a pscudo Ricmannian manifold. In brief, time and space together comprise a curved four dimensional non-Euclidean geometry. Con
