The secrets of Einstein's unknown equation - with Sean Carroll
Did you know that Einstein's most important equation isn't E=mc^2? Find out all about his equation that expresses how spacetime curves, with Sean Carroll. This lecture was recorded at the Ri on Monday 14 August 2023. The real Einstein's Equation is part of general relativity, which relates the curvature of spacetime to the mass and energy distributed within it. Sean explains why the geometry of spacetime has anything to do with gravity, and how this famous equation expresses the way that spacetime curves.
