Modules

Prerequisites

Contents

Galilei space, Minkowski space, Riemannian space, curved space-time, general relativistic effects, cosmological models.

Learning outcomes

After successfully completing the module, students know the idea of space-time and its characterization. Besides the concepts of Quantum Theory it plays a fundamental role for the understanding of modern physics. As a typical theoretical field it summarizes and explains different known facts on the basis of a few very general principles, it reflects an important working method of theoretical physics. Additionally the module supports presentation skills and further competences as accurateness, endurance and curiosity.

Assessment

• oral examination, 30-45 Minuten
