There was a blithe certainty that came from first comprehending the full Einstein field equations, arabesques of Greek letters clinging tenuously to the page, a gossamer web. They seemed insubstantial when you first saw them, a string of squiggles. Yet to follow the delicate tensors as they contracted, as the superscripts paired with subscripts, collapsing mathematically into concrete classical entities-- potential; mass; forces vectoring in a curved geometry-- that was a sublime experience. The iron fist of the real, inside the velvet glove of airy mathematics.

    アインシュタインの完全な場の方程式を最初に理解したこと、ギリシャ文字のアラベスクがページにくっついていること、クモの巣から来た、快活な確実性がありました。あなたが最初にそれらを見たとき、それらは実体のないように見えました、一連の波線。上付き文字と下付き文字が対になって、数学的に具体的な古典的実体に崩壊するため、収縮する繊細なテンソルにはまだ従いません。質量;湾曲した形状での力のベクトル化-それは崇高な経験でした。風通しの良い数学のベルベットグローブの中にある、本物の鉄の拳。

    首先了解完整的爱因斯坦场方程,希腊字母的蔓藤花纹紧紧地紧贴在页面上,这就是游丝网。当您初次看到它们时,它们似乎是微不足道的,是一串花线。当上标与下标配对时,在其收缩时还没有遵循微妙的张量,在数学上折叠成具体的古典实体-势;大量的;力以弯曲的几何形状进行矢量引导-这是一种绝佳的体验。透气的数学天鹅绒手套内的真实铁拳。
