Classical General Relativity
read the original abstract
This survey paper is divided into two parts. In the first (section 2), I give a brief account of the structure of classical relativity theory. In the second (section 3), I discuss three special topics: (i) the status of the relative simultaneity relation in the context of Minkowski spacetime; (ii) the "geometrized" version of Newtonian gravitation theory (also known as Newton-Cartan theory); and (iii) the possibility of recovering the global geometric structure of spacetime from its "causal structure".

Chukchi Myths perspective on Special Relativity
Chukchi mythology provides a perspective for teaching special relativity that prioritizes absolute structures such as proper time over relative ones to reduce the sense of revolutionary mystery.
