I completely underestimated your education level. I still think most of what I suggested would be applicable, the only difference being that you've already taken a number of the courses I suggested. And you've demonstrated that you do have the intellectual capacity to master the requisite courses leading to an understanding of the concepts involved in the general theory or relativity.

I note that you've taken a course in differential equations. I bet my instructor in that course made a bigger dent in the history of the world than your's did. Mine was Stanislaus Ulum. He found the mathematical solution to the problem that Edward Teller ran into in trying to produce a hydrogen bomb. Without Ulum's solution, Teller's bomb would have required a refrigeration component so massive that would have precluded its being carried in any sort of aircraft.

If you have some specific questions about the theory to which you'd like to get some answers now, perhaps I can give you some qualitative answers without belaboring the underlying mathematics.


Hey, I just noticed that I've just become a senior member!
