This lecture introduces the concepts of relativity and cosmology, focusing on the Big Bang Theory, general relativity, particle physics, and statistical physics. The instructor covers topics such as the FRW metric, Hubble law, cosmological inflation, and the theory of Big Bang. The lecture also discusses the isotropy and homogeneity of space, the Friedmann equations, and the energy-momentum conservation. Various equations and concepts related to the energy density, pressure, and the isotropic pressure are explored.
