Deriving General Relativity Equations from TUP (solving mysteries in Quantum Physics and Relativity)

Показать описание
This video is the 17th one in the series, and shows how to derive Einstein's General Relativity Field Equations from the "Thrifty Universe Principle" (see video #10). While it is impossible to describe the details of this derivation, this video explains the major steps used to derive these very important (and complex...) equations from a very basic principle in physics.

In this series of videos we will "resolve" some of the supposed "mysteries" in Quantum Physics and Relativity (Wave/particle duality, Schrödinger's cat, Constant Speed of Light, Paradoxes in Relativity, etc.).

The first 7 videos are with (almost) no maths. The rest are videos which get into the details by explaining why certain math tools are used for these topics, and explain more thoroughly why they can help solve some of the "mysteries" in Q.P. and R.
I recommend that you view all the videos in the right order, as we will introduce some concepts that we will use later in the series.
Finally I apologize if you find the videos too provocative, in particular to physicists... Please take my comments with a grain of salt...
