We talked about what curvature means, looked at geodesics, great circles on spheres, and tried to understand the notion of "straightness". Now on Spacetime, we take a look into how geometry works in spacetime.

General Relativity! Spacetime! And... Curved Lines? On this episode of Spacetime, Gabe talks about what it actually means for a line to be straight so we can better understand what we mean by the idea of "curved Spacetime".

Title: Gravitation
Authors: Charles W. Misner, Kip Thorne, John Archibald Wheeler
A book on gravitation, often considered the "Bible" on gravitation by researchers. Published by W.H. Freeman and Company in 1973. It covers all aspects of the General Theory of Relativity and also considers some extensions and experimental confirmation. It is divided into two "tracks", the second of which covers more advanced topics. Its massive size (over 1200 pages) has inspired nicknames such as "the phone book".
