(December 3, 2012) Leonard Susskind demonstrates that Einsteins field equations become wave equations in the approximation of weak gravitational fields. The solutions for these equations create the theory of gravity waves.This series is the fourth installment of a six-quarter series that explore the foundations of modern physics. In this quarter Susskind focuses on Einsteins General Theory of Relativity.Originally presented in the Stanford Continuing Studies Program.Stanford Universityhttpwww.stanford.eduStanford Continuing Studies Programhttpscontinuingstudies.stanford.eduStanford University Channel on YouTubehttpwww.youtube.comstanford
