Herein we obtain an exact solution for cylindrically symmetric modified Gauss–Bonnet gravity. This metric is a generalization of the vacuum solution of Levi–Civita in general relativity. It describes an isotropic perfect fluid one-parameter family of the gravitational configurations, which can be interpreted as the exterior metric of a cosmic string. By setting the Gauss–Bonnet coupling parameter to zero, we recover the vacuum solution in the Einstein gravity as well.

This chapter devotes equal attention to special relativity and general relativity. It first describes the history of the analysis of distant simultaneity, up to and including Einstein's procedure in his revolutionary 1905 paper which introduced special relativity. In particular, the discussion relates Einstein's procedure to the ensuing philosophical debate about whether distant simultaneity is a matter of convention. As to general relativity, the discussion gives a brief sketch of Einstein's path towards his discovery of general relativity. Thereafter, it focuses on the topological structure of time or, more precisely, of timelike lines (worldlines) in spacetime. It discusses the closed timelike lines first found in an exact solution of general relativity by Godel; and the open timelike geodesics that get arbitrarily close to the initial singularity (Big Bang) in a Friedmann solution.

The gravitational bending of light in the framework of conformal gravity is considered where an exact solution for null geodesics in the Mannheim-Kazanas is obtained. The linear coefficient γ characteristic to conformal gravity is shown to contribute enhanced deflection compared to the angle predicted by General Relativity for small γ. We also briefly consider gravitational lensing in covariant emergent gravity.
