Learning General Relativity Formulas

Click For Summary
Understanding general relativity involves grasping both conceptual frameworks and mathematical formulas, but many struggle with the latter. Despite having a good conceptual understanding, the mathematical representations often seem meaningless to some learners. Recommendations for resources include books, with a specific suggestion for a well-regarded title on Amazon. Additionally, there are various links shared in the thread that may provide further assistance in learning general relativity formulas. Engaging with both books and online resources can enhance comprehension of the subject.

many people have sent me links to answer my questions. i have read them and i do understand them. i have the ability to picture how general relativity works. however when i see mathematical formulas on these sights u send me they really mean nothing. is there a link you can send me that i can learn gr formulas from?

Thread 'EPR revisited'

In an inertial frame of reference (IFR), there are two fixed points, A and B, which share an entangled state $$ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|0>_A|1>_B+|1>_A|0>_B) $$ At point A, a measurement is made. The state then collapses to $$ |a>_A|b>_B, \{a,b\}=\{0,1\} $$ We assume that A has the state ##|a>_A## and B has ##|b>_B## simultaneously, i.e., when their synchronized clocks both read time T However, in other inertial frames, due to the relativity of simultaneity, the moment when B has ##|b>_B##...
