For Special Relativity, Geometry and algebra background would suffice, but for General Relativity, one needs to have a solid background in some basic partial differential equations, basic differential geometry, tensor calculus, and so on. B) Principle of original horizontality. "General Relativity from A to B" explained to me the meaning of the radar-coordinates (emphasizing operational measurements) and the meaning of the spacetime interval (emphasizing the causal structure). A) Electrons are directly affected by the strong nuclear force. Which of the following is NOT true? I disagree because it is in fact zero for closed universes with positive curvature too. I am also planning to list books on Gravity, Space, Time, Black Holes, Astrophysics and Relativity, The Special and the General Theory by Albert Einsein. You are saying that if the energy is zero then it is flat. Introduction to Relativity: For Physicists and Astronomers by John B. GENERAL Relativity), (b) specifically the gravitational field of a rotating massive body [which is more complicated to work out than the field of a non-rotating body], and (c) objects moving in circular orbits around such a body. Note that Einstein explicitly used the equation c'=c(1+gh/c^2) in the period 1907-1915, then, in the final version of general relativity, replaced it with c'=c(1+2gh/c^2). 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. Crothers: Black Holes, General Relativity and Newtonian Gravitation. For the record, I teach a one-semester course in General Relativity for advanced graduate students every two or three years. Astronomers have obtained the most compelling evidence yet that massive objects dramatically warp space–time, as predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity. Posted on November 28, 2012 by B Talbott. Of course general relativity is really about semi-Riemannian geometry [though physicists like to refer to it as merely 'Riemannian'], so you would want to also refer to texts like O'Neill's Semi-Riemannian Geometry With Applications to Relativity. I also teach Special Relativity at the This experiment involves (a) gravitational effects (i.e. However, you are using the converse of this statement. Cosmologist Lawrence Krauss writing in the Wall Street Journal says that Hawking does not go far enough, but his argument is based on a misunderstanding of energy in general relativity.
