Push to 7:20 to skip all the homework and assignment stuff.

the fundamental flaw in this lecture is that he has assumed without proof that ds is invariant. If you assume that special relativity becomes easy and straightforward. The interesting part is showing why it is invariant ...
-
so where is the discussion about his problem with the Weinberg's text notations
-
landau and lifshitz in the first of the suggested readings? this professor is insane.
-
one of the Biggest contributions of Einstein to physics: Einstein summation convention!!!
-
This is like going to the bats wedding....if you learn one way from a book or a proffessor you have one formalism and some symbols...then the other books and other proffessors have their own formalism and their own symbols..
-
He seems to be fully ambidextrous.
-
These are some of the best lectures on GR I have come across. Amazing conceptual clarity with a new angle to view same problem.

great....

Thank you very very much sir, Its great to have your videos on YT.
Your efforts in bringing up these videos to all of us un-priviledged students(in the sense that we aren't IISER-ians, IIT-ians or IUCAA-ns) is very much appreciated.
It will be my first true encounter with general relativity and i dont know how much i m going to follow. But still i will be asking doubts in future as and when i m taking the course. For now, i have just downloaded all your lectures. (Right now i m preparing a platform to reach to the level of this course.)
