Rovelli and Bianchi But more importantly, Einstein did not introduce lambda specifically for predicting a static universe. Part II introduces us to general relativity which is the most accurate theory of gravity know to science. Sep 22, 2009 - In this Theory of General Relativity, Einstein suggested that gravity was due to the bending of time and space by massive objects. Both special and general relativity have a reputation for being very complicated theories to understand. Apr 7, 2010 - In fact, Einstein himself drawn attention to lambda in general relativity, and was later to call it his biggest blunder. An excellent introduction for those who would like to learn more about what makes genius. Mar 17, 2014 - Statements by Gravity Probe-B researchers that the region around Earth resembles a “space-time vortex” lend credibility to the premise of this paper that potential vortex flow and gravity are related. Authors: Nojiri, S Some people have proposed that Einstein's theory of general relativity could be modified to explain dark energy. While it is true that one needs some mathematical machinery to really master these theories, Egdall does a great job in That said, I do consider the book well-written, entertaining and a useful introduction to the ideas of relativity for the lay person. Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) was originally introduced to Eddington's writings by his aunt, a fellow Quaker. Albert Einstein introduced the first analogue model for General Relativity that describes space-time as a membrane upon which objects move along geodesics. May 6, 2011 - There are many news article on the latest report from Gravity Probe B stating how the results are consistent with predictions from Einstein's General Relativity (see here, here, and here). Jun 6, 2008 - Article Title: Introduction to modified gravity and gravitational alternative for dark energy. Mar 27, 2014 - The term "Brans-Dicke," apparently first introduced by Dicke in his 1962 paper on transformation of units (Dicke 1962), is widely used to describe a modification of Einstein's original formulation of General Relativity to bring it into This scalar, (phi), like gravity, has all matter as its source, and thus, in some semantic sense could be described as an extension of the gravitational field from purely geometric to geometric plus scalar, thus the term "scalar-tensor . Jan 2, 2014 - Last week, we saw how photographs taken during the total solar eclipse of 1919 were said to confirm Albert Einstein's 1916 "General Relativity" theory of gravity, even though one of the three datasets — which ran counter to Einstein — was discarded. Until other ways of testing General Relativity were Einstein's model of gravity.
