I know this question sounds stupid but somehow i need confirmation I guess. Is it necessary to learn GR and SR to study cosmology ?

SUMMARY
Learning General Relativity (GR) and Special Relativity (SR) is essential for studying cosmology. These theories provide the foundational framework for understanding the dynamics of the universe, including the behavior of space-time and the effects of gravity on cosmic scales. Mastery of GR and SR is not optional but a prerequisite for anyone serious about delving into cosmological studies.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of General Relativity (GR)
- Familiarity with Special Relativity (SR)
- Basic knowledge of cosmological principles
- Mathematical proficiency in tensor calculus
- Study the principles of General Relativity in detail
- Explore the implications of Special Relativity on time dilation and length contraction
- Research cosmological models and their dependence on GR and SR
- Learn about the mathematical tools used in GR, such as differential geometry
Astronomy students, physicists, and anyone interested in advanced studies of the universe and its fundamental laws.
