前言/序言

　　~Einsteins relativistic theory of gravitation——general relativity——will shortly be acentury old. At its core is one of the most beautiful and revolutionary conceptionsof modem science——the idea that gravity is the geometry of four-dimensionalcurved spacetime. Together with quantum theory， general relativity is one of thetwo most profound developments of twentieth-century physics.　 General relativity has been accurately tested in the solar system. It underliesour understanding of the universe on the largest distance scales， and is centralto the explanation of such frontier astrophysical phenomena as gravitational col-lapse， black holes， X-ray sources， neutron stars， active galactic nuclei， gravita-tional waves， and the big bang. General relativity is the intellectual origin of manyideas in contemporary elementary particle physics and is a necessary prerequisiteto understanding theories of the unification of all forces such as string theory.　 An introduction to this subject， so basic， so well established， so central to sev-eral branches of physics， and so interesting to the lay public is naturally a partof the education of every undergraduate physics major. Yet teaching general rel-ativity at an undergraduate level confronts a basic problem. The logical order ofteaching this subject （as for most others） is to assemble the necessary mathemati-cal tools， motivate the basic defining equations， solve the equations， and apply thesolutions to physically interesting circumstances. Developing the tools of differ-ential geometry， introducing the Einstein equation， and solving it is an elegant andsatisfying story. But it can also be a long one， too long in fact to cover both thatand introduce the many con~~temporary applications in the time that is typicallyavailable for an introductory undergraduate course.　 Gravity introduces general relativity in a different order. The principles onwhich it is based are discussed at greater length in Appendix D， but essentiallythe strategy is the following： The simplest physically relevant solutions of theEinstein equation are presented first， without derivation， as spacetimes whose ob-servational consequences are to be explored by the study of the motion of testparticles and light rays in them.

給本科生的廣義相對論教材，看著像是科普類的，我更喜歡數學框架嚴謹的資料。

但是對為什麼産生引力目前沒有解釋。近代物理（廣義相對論）認為萬有引力是由於時空彎麯而産生。眾所周知，兩點之間綫段最短，這是在平麵幾何中的公理，這綫段就是短程綫。然而，在被彎麯的四維時空裏，短程綫也被彎麯瞭。因此受到引力作用，行星沿短程綫嚮太陽靠近，由於質量巧閤（包括速度巧閤）的原因，又因為行星具有慣性（很多人理解成離心力，這是錯的，離心力隻是假象，宇宙中根本並不存在離心力，至少現在沒有發現），從而周而復始的繞太陽按橢圓軌道公轉。當質量不巧閤時，會齣現引力跳闆現象，或撞嚮太陽。其中，構成天體係統的主要原因並不是引力，而是質量所引起的時空扭麯。

很喜歡深入淺齣的書籍大緻翻瞭翻，數學內容較多，和另一本英文引力對應看，畢竟一個重理論，一個重數學，都是必要的。當然這些都是針對新手來說的，若有基礎的話可以隻參考這本！
