    MHB Why is the general solution of this form?

    Hello! (Wave)I found the following in my lecture notes:$$u_t=u_{xx}, x \in \mathbb{R}, t>0 \\ u(x,0)=f(x)$$ $$u(x,t)=X(x)T(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{T'(t)}{T(t)}=\frac{X''(x)}{X(x)}=-\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$$ $$X''(x)+\lambda X(x)=0, x \in \mathbb{R}$$ $$X \text{ bounded }$$ The characteristic...

    Covariant form of Newton's law of gravity

    Hii! Newton's law of gravity is ∇.(∇Φ) = 4πGρ. A book on GR gives a suggestion to make it Lorentz covariant by using de' Alembertian operator on 'Φ' in the LHS of above equation instead of Laplacian. Then it explains that this won't work because we have to include in 'ρ' all the energy...
