Python Library for solving General Relativity! https://blog.einsteinpy.org Null Geodesics functionality has been implemented into EinsteinPy, with PR#527, having been merged 🎉🎉. I apologize for no blogs in the past 3 weeks. There was a COVID situation here, that required multiple tests and isolation and all that it entails. This led to me foregoing an entire week. And,...

Last week, I hit a serious obstacle, related to maximum floating point precision and accumulation of numerical errors (which is also the reason for the delayed blog)....

With this, EinsteinPy now supports 4-Position and 4-Velocity calculations. To better reflect these additions across EinsteinPy, a few changes were also made to einsteinpy.metric and einsteinpy.geodesic modules. All...

In my last blogpost, I had outlined the basic principles of General Relativity that go into my project. I had also mentioned, that the next blog will have details about the coding process. However,... Sat, 13 Jun 2020 00:00:00 -0700 https://blog.einsteinpy.org/2020-06-13-GSoC-20-Code/ https://blog.einsteinpy.org/2020-06-13-GSoC-20-Code/ Here we go... - >>> print("Hello, World!")
