The mysterious connection between Quantum and Astrophysics through black hole's Singularity keeps my curiosity high
every day, which is why I spend time on studying __General Relativity__. Not only that, those who master General
Relativity or Physics in general has their best advantage to learn and analyze Business or Technical problems in a
systematic, logical, and correct way as well. I, hereby, present my ongoing effort of
[Study Notes on General Theory of Relativity][Study Notes on General Relativity], the Math behind our universe
What I Stumbled Upon on the Study of General Relativity
-------------------------------------------------------
- Nothing comes up in its final form on its first rendering. There must be iterations of corrections and
improvements before we are able to show the world something really fascinating. For example, I made several
conceptual mistakes on Einstein's Special Relativity paper on its first read and was forced to come back to it
several times before I came very close to what Einstein was really talking about. I believe Tesla, Apple, Google, or
many great organizations never shows up from nothing. Their founders must have gone through phases of growth and
practice before reaching that peak!
- The most perfect theory (Electromagnetism) didn't start with the most logical philosophical inquiry but through
earth-touching experiments (Faraday on _Experimental researches in electricity_)
How to Compile Study Notes
--------------------------
### Setup
1. Install [Tex Live][LaTeX URL] (version ≥ 2021)
2. Download and install [Ubuntu Font][Ubuntu Font URL]. For instructions on how to install a new System font please
refer to the following links:
- Linux users shall consult [this thread](https://askubuntu.com/a/191782)
- Mac users can follow [this Apple support](https://support.apple.com/guide/font-book/install-and-validate-fonts-fntbk1000/mac)
3. Make sure [GNU Make] is installed with
```console
make --version
```
which, when installed, outputs something like this
```console
GNU Make 3.81

PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
This program built for i386-apple-darwin11.3.0
```
`make` should be installed in almost every Linux distribution and Mac user can install via `brew install make`
### Getting Study Notes Source Code
```console
git clone https://github.com/QubitPi/general-relativity.git
cd general-relativity
```
### Compiling Notes
> [!NOTE]
> Please be patient as the compilation takes some time 
```console
make
```
You now have my love of Physics located at [`./study-notes.pdf`][Study Notes on General Relativity]
