defining "mass" in general relativity is very subtle: • ADM mass: total mass at spatial infinity (asymptotically flat spacetimes). • bondi mass: mass at null infinity. • komar mass: mass in spacetimes that admit a killing timelike vector.

there hasn't been a single day I haven't opened this book. every time I go through it, i learn something new.

📚 If you’re a student choosing what to focus on, pick MATH. It will teach you to relentlessly rely on your own brain, think logically, break down problems, and solve them step by step in the right order. That’s the core skill you’ll need to build companies and manage projects.
there's one thing I have noticed that younger hep-th grad students often underestimate condensed matter physics, not sure why that is the case but this area is absolutely fascinating, there's plenty of hard core math involved, and it even connects to hep-th through ideas like…
I have moved to substack. This is my first post, based on a couple of threads I did recently. Link below.
