General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Title: General Relativity: New insights from a Geometric Algebra approach

Abstract: Geometric algebra (GA) is a formalism capable of describing all fields of physics with elegance, simplifying mathematics and providing new physical insights. Due to the coordinate dependence of tensor formalism, General Relativity(GR) is a challenging subject known for its complicated calculations and interpretation, which has not been thoroughly translated into GA until now.
In this paper, we introduce GR with GA, emphasizing the physical interpretation of quantities and providing a step-by-step guide on performing calculations. In doing so, we show how GA provides insightful information on the physical meaning of the connection coefficients, the Riemann tensor and other physical quantities.
