Tensors | Tensors in general relativity
The Plebanski tensor is an order 4 tensor in general relativity constructed from the trace-free Ricci tensor. It was first defined by Jerzy Plebański in 1964. Let be the trace-free Ricci tensor: Then the Plebanski tensor is defined as The advantage of the Plebanski tensor is that it shares the same symmetries as the Weyl tensor. It therefore becomes possible to classify different spacetimes based on additional algebraic symmetries of the Plebanski tensor in a manner analogous to the Petrov classification. (Wikipedia).

Relativity 8 - the yardstick of spacetime
The final piece of the puzzle falls in place. Herman Minkowski showed that Special Relativity defines a spacetime invariant - the "proper time" - between two events. Einstein's insight into the equivalence between falling and floating allowed him to realize that this also applied to Genera

The term "tensor" is often misunderstood. Let's figure out what they are through vector examples like velocity, angular momentum, the stress tensor, and the electromagnetic tensor. Brilliant for 20% off: http://brilliant.org/ScienceAsylum ________________________________ VIDEO ANNOTATIONS/

A Concrete Introduction to Tensor Products
The tensor product of vector spaces (or modules over a ring) can be difficult to understand at first because it's not obvious how calculations can be done with the elements of a tensor product. In this video we give an explanation of an explicit construction of the tensor product and work
