Description

This lecture covers the Schwarzschild metric in General Relativity, discussing the non-linear fluctuations around Minkowski spacetime, effective field theory, the unique spherically symmetric solution of Einstein equations, and the singularities that arise. The instructor explains the vacuum solution, the static nature, and the spherical symmetry of the metric, leading to insights on radial coordinates, metric components, and scalar divergences.
