The general theory of relativity, together with the necessary parts of the theory of invariants, is dealt with in the author’s book Die Grundlagen der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie (The Foundations of the General Theory of Relativity) — Joh. Ambr. Barth, 1916; this book assumes some familiarity with the special theory of relativity. v
The special theory forces us to look upon space and time not independently, but as a space-time continuum. Just as we speak of a point in 3-space given by 3-coordinates, we have Events(noun)

General relativity is the theory of space and time and gravity. The essence of the theory is simple: gravity is geometry. The effects that we attribute to the force of gravity are due to the bending and warping of spacetime, from falling cats, to orbiting spinning planets, to the motion of the cosmos on the grandest scale. The purpose of

The theory of special relativity rests on two experimental facts. (We will look at the evidence for these shortly). In fact, we have already met the first of these: it is simply the Galilean principle of relativity described in Section 1. The second postulate is more surprising:
If we consider that part of the theory of relativity which may nowadays in a sense be regarded as bona fide scientific knowledge, we note two aspects which have a major bearing on this theory.

This course aims to provide some understanding of general relativity as a theory of gravity in terms of the geometric properties of spacetime. We proceed along the general line of thought formulated by Einstein in his original publications of the general theory of relativity.
