General relativity from A to B Robert Geroch
Publisher: U.Chicago

The idea of testing general relativity with orbiting gyroscopes was suggested independently by two physicists, George Pugh and Leonard Schiff, in late 1959-early 1960. This problem is actually one assigned in the undergraduate general relativity course I took in the spring 2008. Who had read articles in the Guardian claiming that Eric Weinstein found a theory of Maldacena, Susskind: any entanglement is a wormhole of a sort. Well, they want to make an atom interferometer to measure the effects of general relativity, by starting with ultra-cold rubidium atoms and manipulating them with light pulses. Sirius B is a white dwarf orbiting the brightest star in our northern hemisphere sky, Sirius. Gravity Probe B illustration (Stanford Univ.) A NASA mission more than half a century in the making has confirmed two key predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity, project officials said Wednesday. What are the 2 effects that was tested by GP-B? Well, that's only half of the relativity picture. Instead, let me mention that we're probably victims of some bad habits and ultimately invalid lore related to the way how we think about certain issues in general relativity. INTRODUCTION TO GENERAL RELATIVITY G. On Friday, I received an irritated message from Mel B. The great scientist made an even more profound impact on physics with his theory of general relativity, replacing Newton with a better model for gravity. General relativity is composed of the equations that are locally valid, .. Hartle's book Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein's General Relativity, chapter 6, problem 9. Note Added 05 May 2011: A new story on the BBC website, Gravity Probe B confirms Einstein effects, further discusses the work of Gravity Probe B in demonstrating the frame-dragging effect of general relativity. Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. The main purpose of this experiment was to test the truth of the premise of the main fields of space and time that Einstein proposed as the basis of the theory of general relativity. [B][U]General Relativity - The theory of the gravitational force[/U][/B] The effect of gravity is indistinguishable from a state of constant acceleration, and disappears entirely in any frame of reference that is in freefall. We discovered this by looking at the white dwarf Sirius B experimentally in astrophysics (other people have done laboratory experiments).
