From various news articles I've read on the internet, the theory of General Relativity seems to be a bit more detailed than a single formula (E=MC2).
It seems to predict things, and scientists are still in the process of eking out what it predicts and proving what it predicts.
So where can I read the total theory of General Relativity in it's entirety?
Also, is it available in English? Only, with me not being a Physics genius, I might not be able to understand it otherwise.|||Try these books:
Introduction to the Theory of Relativity, by Peter Gabriel Bergmann
The Meaning of Relativity, by Albert Einstein
Gravitation, by Misner, Wheeler, and Thorne
For a layman's introduction try:
Relativity: The Special and the General Theory, by Albert Einstein|||if u can find a book H.C verma part2 itz d best dude///////////////|||If you get hold of the text of Einstein's original paper, don't forget to also read his later 'refinements' in which he ironed out a couple of issues.|||General Relativity is very challenging mathematically. I tried auditing a course on it once using a book by Robert M. Wald but I didn't put in enough effort to understand it at all.
I took a short online course using a little book called Scouting Black Holes by Edwin F. Taylor that tried to simplify things so that all you needed to know was calculus. That wasn't so bad.
On the other hand, maybe you're really asking about special relativity. E=mc² comes from that earlier theory, and it's much easier to understand. To learn special relativity I recommend Space and Time In Special Relativity by N. David Mermin.|||You can get the book, 'Relativity,' which was written by Einstein himself. It gives a very good description of the theory, but it's only a place to start. There are aspects of the theory that weren't included for the sake of clarity.|||wikipedia or local library, there are many books about it
