Gravity: an introduction to Einstein's General Relativity James B. Hartle
Publisher: Benjamin Cummings

Aug 25, 2003 - Finding a deviation from the equivalence principle would indicate a breakdown of general relativity and would point us toward a new, revised theory of gravity. I suspect teachers might be wary of introducing Einstein as a role model in schools, given the risk of having to explain what the theory of relativity is all about! May 11, 2014 - Einstein's relativity theories deal with the space, time and the gravity; quantum mechanics deals with everything else, mostly known for dealing with physical phenomena at very small scales. Introducing the discussion to students:. Jul 9, 2007 - Einstein worked to try and figure out how to bring in gravity, and it took him a few years. The stars in this that could orbit them. As discussed in the introduction, since the time of the ancient Greeks until well into the 20th century many scientists assumed that the universe was eternal. In 1916 he came out with his generalized theory of relativity that introduced in gravity. This new theory made several bold predictions about the interaction of light and gravity that had not yet been observed and which were at variance with expectations based on Newton's understandings. Part II introduces us to general relativity which is the most accurate theory of gravity know to science. Both special and general relativity have a reputation for being very complicated theories to understand. Dec 21, 2010 - Special Relativity: Classical Mechanics - Point Particles And Relativity - W. Greiner; Introduction to the theory of relativity and the principles of modern physics - H. Special relativity had considered only constantly moving reference frames, so a .. In the midst of World War I, however, there was little opportunity for the scientists of the world to look for evidence that Einstein was right. 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. Apr 7, 2010 - In fact, Einstein himself drawn attention to lambda in general relativity, and was later to call it his biggest blunder. Rovelli and Bianchi But more importantly, Einstein did not introduce lambda specifically for predicting a static universe. Mar 14, 2014 - The man is responsible for the general and special theories of relativity, a cornerstone of physics and a way of understanding our universe that has proven so consistently reliable that it is probably the closest humanity will ever get to a decisive cosmic capital-T Truth. Jun 4, 2013 - A decade after his paper on special relativity, Einstein published his general relativity that addressed accelerated reference frames and provided a new theory of gravity. Feb 1, 2001 - Albert Einstein is perhaps the most famous scientist of the 20th century, best known for the Special and General Theories of Relativity.
