<p>I tried to follow the video lectures of the <a href="https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/8-962-general-relativity-spring-2020/pages/syllabus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreffer ">MIT course 8.962</a> about <em>general relativity (GR)</em> back in September 2020 after its release on MIT/OCW.
I only got to the point of Lecture 9 about Geodesics back then.
The feeling wasn&rsquo;t right.
I thought I wasn&rsquo;t prepared then.</p>]]></description></item></channel></rss>
