The text begins with an exposition of those aspects of tensor calculus and differential geometry needed for a proper treatment of the subject. For the record, I teach a one-semester course in General Relativity for advanced graduate students every two or three years. Next term, I'll be teaching a course in general relativity, and while preparing my notes on the curvature of space, I was reminded of a really fun paper I worked on with Rich Gott a few years ago.

I am accessing this through someone's laptop and can only make a short reply. General Relativity Tutorial - UC Riverside: Home Short Course Outline ..

It is of course true that mathematically we can always find (isometric) embeddings in higher dimensional spaces of the geometries found in general relativity, but this does not imply that nature uses such things. In short, you can't make a perfect map of the whole earth. The other issue is that the trampoline analogy In short, love analogies, use analogies, tell other people about analogies, however remember they are analogies and no replacement for mathematical models.

I did an exchange program at UC San Diego 3 years ago, taking Math and CS courses, and found it quite easy compared to my undergraduate program in Chile (btw, I attended your plenary talk in Arequipa, Peru, last year). As you probably know, the earth is roughly a sphere , and if you try to wrap a piece of flat paper around it to make a map, you're going to get a lot of crinkles and folds. The short answer is that the universe being “just a vector in Hilbert space” is certainly the view that the logic of quantum mechanics militates toward. A lot of modern physics courses skip general relativity; some textbooks don't have anything on it, and others put it into an “optional” section. How much General Relativity do you know?
