I am new to general relativity and want to solve some nice problems in it. Can you suggest some book or website where I can get nice problem on GR?
General Relativity is a theory of gravity proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915. It explains how massive objects create a curvature in space-time, which causes other objects to move towards them.
The key concepts in General Relativity include space-time, gravity, and the principle of equivalence. Space-time is the fabric of the universe in which objects exist and interact. Gravity is the force that causes objects to move towards each other. The principle of equivalence states that the effects of gravity and acceleration are indistinguishable.
Some recommended books on General Relativity include "A First Course in General Relativity" by Bernard Schutz, "General Relativity: An Introduction for Physicists" by M.P. Hobson, G.P. Efstathiou, and A.N. Lasenby, and "Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein's General Relativity" by James B. Hartle.
Some helpful websites for learning about General Relativity include the Einstein Online website, the General Relativity Tutorial on the University of Pittsburgh website, and the General Relativity section on the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy website.
Some real-world applications of General Relativity include GPS technology, which relies on precise measurements of time and space that are affected by the curvature of space-time, and the study of black holes, which are objects predicted by General Relativity that have extreme gravitational effects.
