Akshat @akshaaat.bsky.social · 27/12/2024There are plenty of other resources as well. If you like video lectures then please let me know I shall direct you to that as well. Once you are more familiar with the basic ideas, then I'll be happy to recommend more advanced books. All the best! 😄 010
Akshat @akshaaat.bsky.social · 27/12/20241. Special Relativity and Classical field theory by Leonard Susskind. 2. Spacetime physics by Taylor and wheeler (this has many interesting problems). 3. Feynman lectures volume 2. 4. For GR, you may wish to go through Sean Caroll's Geometry of Spacetime. 5. Space, time and Relativity by Wald 220
Akshat @akshaaat.bsky.social · 27/12/2024I am so happy to know that you are going to grad school for physics! It is always best to review the subject, especially when it comes to something as subtle as relativity. I have tons of favourite resources, but here are a few I really liked! 110
Reposted by AkshatSean Carroll @seanmcarroll.bsky.social · 27/12/2024A new claim that dark energy isn’t necessary, we just need to properly account for inhomogeneities in the universe. Maybe. But his idea has been discussed for a long time - David Wiltshire, an author here, has been pushing it for 20 years, and others have also looked at it. (1/n) 1622653
