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

Jul 16, 2011 - Albert Einstein, “The theory of relativity” 1949 [1]. 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. Sep 20, 2009 - But I came across this reference which seem to strongly suggest that while Einstein was busy playing violin and discussing philosophy in the Prague Circle - and working on his General Theory of Relativity - he indeed may have come under signficant conceptual Einstein's idea was to actually include electromagnetic fields in his gravitational field equations by introducing them (by means of their potentials) into the metric components of space-time, in first place. Part II introduces us to general relativity which is the most accurate theory of gravity know to science. In an elevator in empty space) was indistinguishable from the effect of gravity on the surface of a planet. May 6, 2011 - There are many news article on the latest report from Gravity Probe B stating how the results are consistent with predictions from Einstein's General Relativity (see here, here, and here). Mar 12, 2014 - Instead, he won for his 1905 proposal of the law of the photoelectric effect—empirically verified in the following decade by Robert Millikan—and for general “services to theoretical physics.” It was a political decision Einstein realized that the question of the relativity of motion was tied up with the theory of Gravity: that uniform acceleration (e.g. 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. Introduction to General Relativity. Oct 11, 2010 - Einstein's Space-Time: An Introduction to Special and General Relativity is a textbook addressed to students in physics and other people interested in Relativity and a history of physics. Both special and general relativity have a reputation for being very complicated theories to understand.
