Dmitry Podolsky has got his PhD from Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics. He currently works as postdoc at Case Western Reserve University. He is also one of the editors of NEQNET.
Leonard Susskind continues reading his lecture course on general relativity in U. of Stanford. Previous lectures can be found here: Lectures 1-5, Lecture 6 and Lecture 7.
Susskind continues to discuss covariant derivatives, parallel transport of vectors, Ricci and Riemann tensors. In the second part of the lecture he turns to geodesics. He is terrific lecturer but after the lecture N7 I start wondering whether it’s worth spending so much time discussing technicalities
