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

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. May 2, 2014 - When it comes to "quantum gravity" theories that seek to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity, there are currently two main scenarios. I suspect teachers might be wary of introducing Einstein as a role model in schools, given the risk of having to explain what the theory of relativity is all about! It has been found that massive gravity can fit all cosmological data without the need to introduce an additional cosmological constant. While Newton thought of But Einstein went even one step further. Seen this principle, stating that a gravitational field and acceleration are equivalent, so in a closed box you couldn't tell if you were feeling gravity or being accelerated (say by a rocket), used to introduce general relativity, just as Einstein did. I think for beginning graduate level general relativity your book is the best. Dec 12, 2013 - In Einstein's theory of general relativity gravitational waves spread with the speed of light, and the quanta of the gravitational field, the gravitons, are expected to do the same*. Albert Einstein provided The theory departs from Newton's ideas, however, once masses are introduced. General Relativity You'll notice that the basic premise of General Relativity is that spacetime is a smooth, gently curving, geometrical entity that allows us to follow all of its matter-driven undulations. May 30, 2008 - This problem is actually one assigned in the undergraduate general relativity course I took in the spring 2008. To do this they would have to photograph the light Clearly this was not the way things work in the real world and so he rewrote his paper taking into account gravity calling this one the Theory of General Relativity. Aug 22, 2012 - This was no ordinary expedition and its members knew the eyes of the world were on them waiting to see if they would be the ones to finally prove Einstein's controversial 'Theory of General Relativity'. Hartle's book Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein's General Relativity, chapter 6, problem 9. To be more precise, gravitons move with the speed of massless particles how well this modification of general relativity fares as an alternative to ΛCDM. Jul 20, 2011 - I learnt general relativity from Hartle's “Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein's General Relativity” and your book. Jun 19, 2012 - Artist's concept of warped spacetime, with NASA's mission Gravity Probe B. Mar 14, 2014 - The man is responsible for the general and special theories of relativity, a cornerstone of physics and a way of understanding our universe that has proven so consistently reliable that it is probably the closest humanity will ever get to a decisive cosmic capital-T Truth.
