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. To test Einstein's theory of general relativity, Gravity Probe B must measure two minuscule angles with spinning gyroscopes, floating in space. This theory is named general relativity . If time travel is possible, then it is possible for you to kill your father before you were born. [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. Sirius B is a white dwarf orbiting the brightest star in our northern hemisphere sky, Sirius. €�The space-time around Earth appears to be distorted just as general relativity predicts,” says Stanford University physicist Francis Everitt, principal investigator of the Gravity Probe B mission. Well, that's only half of the relativity picture. Quantum Mechanics vs General Relativity. Hartle provides a fluent and accessible introduction that uses a minimum of new mathematics and is illustrated with a wealth of exciting applications. Using a “physics first” approach to the subject, renowned relativist James B. Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. We discovered this by looking at the white dwarf Sirius B experimentally in astrophysics (other people have done laboratory experiments). If B-theory is true and special and general relativity are true, then time travel is possible. 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. God - Albert Einstein, Black Holes and the Collapse Of Physics As We Know it. 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. Fig b.2 - A symmetric spherical body on a two-dimensional grid that illustrates the space-time universe. The aim of this groundbreaking new book is to bring general relativity into the undergraduate curriculum and make this fundamental theory accessible to all physics majors.
