Shortly after publishing his special theory of relativity, Einstein began to work toward creating an even more complete and far-reaching theory of space and time. It took him another decade, but eventually Einstein came up with an expanded and completely general form of his theory. The general theory of relativity was not only a theory of space and time, but also provided us with a deeper and more powerful way of thinking about the force of gravity Presented by Dan Hooper From the series: What Einstein Got Wrong Learn more about Einstein's Theories at www.wondrium.com/youtube 00:00 What is the Special Theory of Relativity? 01:00 Special Relativity vs. Newtonian Gravity 01:35 What Is the General Theory of Relativity? 02:00 What Is the Equivalence Principle? 03:15 Acceleration and Gravity Might Be Deeply Connected 03:28 "Mass" in Newtonian Physics 03:40 What is Inertial Mass? 04:00 What is Gravitational Mass? 05:10 On the Influence of Gravity on the Propagation of Light 06:30 Gravity and Geometry of Space and Time 07:00 Five Basic Axioms of Euclidean Geometry 08:45 Exceptions to Euclid's Fifth Postulate 11:00 Gravitational Field Equations 11:25 Einstein and Marcel Grossmann on Field Equations 12:30 What is Tensor Analysis? 13:00 Equations Can't Be Self-Consistently Applied 14:30 Outline of a Generalized Theory of Relativity and of a Theory of Gravitation 15:28 Detecting Error in Newtonian Prediction 19:30 Incorrect Versions of Einstein’s Theory 19:50 David Hilbert Takes Interest in Einstein's Theory 24:05 What are Tensors? 25:07 Einstein Publishes His General Theory of Relativity 25:20 Implications of General Theory of Relativity 27:25 How Scientists Measure the Effects of General Relativity ------------------------------------------- The Great Courses is the global leader in lifelong learning and our video-on-demand service The Great Courses Plus gives you unlimited, uninterrupted access to a world of learning anytime and anywhere you want it.
