Solutions of the Einstein Field Equations - Wikipedia - closed form ![rw-book-cover|200x400](https://readwise-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/static/images/article1.be68295a7e40.png) ## Metadata - Author: **closed form** - Full Title: Solutions of the Einstein Field Equations - Wikipedia - Category: #articles - URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solutions_of_the_Einstein_field_equations ## Highlights - The Einstein field equations relate the Einstein tensor to the stress–energy tensor, which represents the distribution of energy, momentum and stress in the spacetime manifold. The Einstein tensor is built up from the metric tensor and its partial derivatives; thus, given the stress–energy tensor, the Einstein field equations are a system of ten partial differential equations in which the metric tensor can be solved for. - Tags: #physic
