Description

This lecture covers the scale of gravity and the experimental evidence of light bending near massive objects, as well as the action principle for geodesic motion in gravitational fields, including the effects of external forces like electromagnetism. Students will work on problems related to these concepts, such as deriving equations of motion and exploring the reparameterization invariance of the action.
