Hello,
I would like to better understand the geometric evolution of a gravitational field of a simple point mass as the velocity difference between two different inertial frames approaches the speed of light. I would also then like to extend into more complex scenarios such as charged particles.
This takes me directly to General Relativity and Einsteins Field Equations.
So I am looking for a book that will robustly cover these subjects. I think it should start at the undergraduate level but it would be OK if it then went into graduate level. Note that my only resources will be the books that I have and the good people on this forum so if the book is too abstract that may be a problem but then again, if the book is too "dumbed down" then it may not get me to where I want to go. So I'm looking for a good balanced book. If this cannot be achieved with one book, then two books is OK.
Thanks for the help and suggestions,
