Spacetime and Geometry:
Feedback/Questions

Sean M. Carroll




I welcome comments about the book, and especially having my attention drawn to mistakes or typos. These will be listed on the errata page; look there first to see if what you have noticed is already listed. You can email me at seancarrollatgmail.com, appropriately translated.

Unfortunately, I am unable to answer questions about general relativity itself; there just isn't time. However, you shouldn't be asking me, anyway; you should be participating in an online discussion forum, where there will be several people to ask and others might have the same questions. The best such forum is the newsgroup:

sci.physics.research
This is a moderated discussion forum, full of people who really know what they're talking about (although you shouldn't be reluctant to ask beginner's questions). It is a usenet newsgroup, but the link given here is directly to the Google version, which is immediately accessible without any prior usenet experience. (More about s.p.r.) Other relevant newsgroups include:
sci.physics
sci.physics.relativity
These can be useful, but they are not moderated; you are at least as likely to find someone who thinks Einstein was a misguided crank as you are to find an expert in relativity. In addition to these newsgroups, there is a discussion forum at superstringtheory.com:
superstringtheory.com discussion forum
The name notwithstanding, there are plenty of discussions about relativity, particle physics, and cosmology, in addition to string theory. There is also a general relativity board at Physics Forums:
Physics Forums
(Registration required.) Finally, don't forget to check out the additional resources page, where your question may already be answered.
