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

Dec 5, 2013 - Quantum entanglement sounds so foreign to our experience because it appears to exceed the speed of light, which violates Einstein's general relativity. 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. This was a daunting challenge, and one which most people judiciously ignored until Albert Einstein began working on General Relativity in 1907. 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. We can now dive into the awesomeness of General Relativity. I've already said that Isaac Newton was bothered by his own theory of gravity because it seemed to involve things affecting each other through empty space, without ever coming into contact. Mar 13, 2014 - General relativity (GR) is the theory that replaces Newton's version of gravitation, but at the end of the day it's still gravity, and it has the same strength that it always did. Sep 30, 2011 - Shortly after the publishing of his special theory of relativity, Einstein immediately began working out equations that encompassed geometric views of gravitation and introduced new and exciting concepts that replaced Newtonian mechanics, which had lasted 250 years. In fact our best theories of particles assume that .. Aug 27, 2012 - The most accurate theory of gravity is Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. 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. Scientists had been able to calculate low energy Einstein's general theory showed the world that gravity was caused by the bending of space and time. Anonymous says: October 10, 2013 at 11:31 pm. 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. 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.
