Oct 11, 2010 - Einstein's Space-Time: An Introduction to Special and General Relativity is a textbook addressed to students in physics and other people interested in Relativity and a history of physics. I think for beginning graduate level general relativity your book is the best. Apr 18, 2010 - General relativity was Einstein's theory of gravity, published in 1915, which extended special relativity to take into account non-inertial frames of reference — areas that are accelerating with respect to each other. Jul 20, 2011 - I learnt general relativity from Hartle's “Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein's General Relativity” and your book. The presence of mass warps space and time, The fact that gravity acts by changing the geometry of space and time sets it apart from all other forces. To be more precise, gravitons move with the speed of massless particles how well this modification of general relativity fares as an alternative to ΛCDM. Aug 27, 2012 - The most accurate theory of gravity is Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Seen this principle, stating that a gravitational field and acceleration are equivalent, so in a closed box you couldn't tell if you were feeling gravity or being accelerated (say by a rocket), used to introduce general relativity, just as Einstein did. On top of that, I am eager to learn, where physics and every day wisdom come apart, and your article indeed makes a very good introduction. May 2, 2014 - When it comes to "quantum gravity" theories that seek to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity, there are currently two main scenarios. In fact our best theories of particles assume that .. Anonymous says: October 10, 2013 at 11:31 pm. It has been found that massive gravity can fit all cosmological data without the need to introduce an additional cosmological constant. Nov 26, 2013 - Published by Albert Einstein in 1916, the general theory of relativity predicted that the round-trip or echo delays of light signals traveling between the Earth and Mars would be increased by the direct effect of solar gravity. Dec 12, 2013 - In Einstein's theory of general relativity gravitational waves spread with the speed of light, and the quanta of the gravitational field, the gravitons, are expected to do the same*. Jun 30, 2011 - “Equivalence of matter and energy, E = mc2 (and by implication, the ability of gravity-and matter generally-to "bend" light), the existence of "rest energy", and the basis of nuclear energy (the conversion of matter to energy by humans and in the cosmos).” (Wikipedia) These Introductory Comments are copyrighted: Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of general relativity, effecting a revolution in physics.
