The Meaning of the Metric Tensor

In the follow-up to our prior video, Demystifying the Metric Tensor, we continue to explore the physical and conceptual intuition behind the complex mathematical object known as The Metric Tensor, whose crucial role in the General Relativity, requisite to understanding the theory, tends to be easily obscured by abstract ideas and mathematics.
