In the Christoffel Symbols -guide, you'll learn about the geometric and physical meaning of Christoffel symbols, one of the most important mathematical objects in general relativity. This article provides the most comprehensive deep dive into Christoffel symbols you'll be able to find anywhere.
The Ricci Tensor -guide covers another foundational mathematical tool used in general relativity, the Ricci tensor. After this guide, you'll know what the Ricci tensor represents both geometrically and physically, as well as be able to calculate the Ricci tensor for any spacetime in practice.
The Why Time Slows Down Near a Black Hole -article shows you a practical application of the ideas of general relativity in the context of describing how time dilation happens near a black hole. You'll learn the geometric explanation behind why time slows down in strong gravitational fields, as well as what physical effects this has to, for example, aging.
