This lecture covers the Schwarzschild solution, Newtonian Gravity, geodesic equations, the Einstein Equation, the cosmological constant, and General Relativity as an Effective Field Theory. It also discusses the full action, the matter Lagrangian, and the vacuum energy density. The instructor explains the most general worldline action, non-minimal couplings, and microscopic length in the context of Effective Field Theory.
