This is certainly one of these things that I would just ignore because it's completely meaningless. Even Newtonian mechanics requires a small (roughly 150 page) textbook to develop the core ideas of the theory and it gets exponentially more elaborate from there. | |

This essentially lets you compress the spacetime of a system into a single "matrix" equation. Of course, it really is still one equation, it just keeps a lot of things behind the curtain. | |
