## Description

First published in 1973, this influential work discusses Einstein's General Theory of Relativity to show how two of its predictions arise: first, that the ultimate fate of many massive stars is to undergo gravitational collapse to form 'black holes'; and second, that there was a singularity in the past at the beginning of the universe. Starting with a precise formulation of the theory, including the necessary differential geometry, the authors discuss the significance of space-time curvature and examine the properties of a number of exact solutions of Einstein's field equations. They develop the theory of the causal structure of a general space-time, and use it to prove a number of theorems establishing the inevitability of singularities under certain conditions. A Foreword contributed by Abhay Ashtekar and a new Preface from George Ellis help put the volume into context of the developments in the field over the past fifty years.

Review: Superb. - Excellent value classic.
Review: 50周たっても色褪せることがない歴史的な書籍 - なんと50周年記念版が出た（初版は1973年。当時はたくさんの一般相対性理論の重要な書籍が刊行された）。本文の内容に変更はないが、Abhay Ashtekarが本書の意義を、共著者のGeorge Ellisが初版以降の発展と文脈を紹介している、 蛇足となるが、本書ではアインシュタインの重力の理論である一般相対性理論が予測した重力崩壊による「ブラックホール」があること（アインシュタインの場の方程式の厳密解）、膨張宇宙に過去の特異点から始まった（時空の因果構造）ことを説明している。

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enduring classic
*by C***C on 3 October 2023*

Back when it first came out, this book appeared on the shelf at my university bookstore. I picked it up, looked through the pages which appeared to me then about as comprehensible as dense hieroglyphics, and quickly replaced it on the shelf. That was before I even had exposure to Special Relativity. Many years later I have much more background and perspective. Although still not prepared to digest the contents of this book in detail, I can appreciate what the authors are doing. The book includes painstaking diagrams which are extremely useful in gleaning an understanding. Now I can appreciate this as a work of true geniuses. I don't know how long it took them to arrive at the final printed version, but years of painstaking work is a good guess. If you are "into" General Relativity and Black Holes, this is a must have, especially at the publisher's extremely modest price for the 50th anniversary edition.
