For several years prior to these lectures, Feynman thought long and hard about the fundamental problems in gravitational physics, yet he published very little. These lectures represent a useful record of his viewpoints and some of his insights into gravity and its application to cosmology, superstars, wormholes, and gravitational waves at that particular time. The lectures also contain a number of fascinating digressions and asides on the foundations of physics and other issues.Characteristically, Feynman took and untraditional non-geometric approach to gravitation and general relativity based on the underlying quantum aspects of gravity. Hence, these lectures contain a unique pedagogical account of the development of Einstein's general relativity as the inevitable result of the demand for a self-consistent theory of a massless spin-2 field (the graviton) coupled to the energy-momentum tensor of matter. This approach also demonstrates the intimate and fundamental connection between gauge invariance and the Principle of Equivalence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52343433462048,"sku":"USED0201627345","price":84.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91ekmz9TL1L_98e6af2c-38ca-4051-971a-cb609cabef0b.jpg?v=1789195228","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/feynman-lectures-on-gravitation-0201627345-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
