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. 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. 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. Branes (mathematical aspects) . Kirillov, Lectures on tensor categories and modular functors, AMS, University Lecture Series, (2000) (web). Sirius B is a white dwarf orbiting the brightest star in our northern hemisphere sky, Sirius. Well, that's only half of the relativity picture. We discovered this by looking at the white dwarf Sirius B experimentally in astrophysics (other people have done laboratory experiments). The Minkowski metric for General Relativity.. B) General Theory of Relativity. "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). Seems very silly that people often cite the size of Earth/human beings in relation to the universe as a measure of each human's 'insignificance'. Crothers: Black Holes, General Relativity and Newtonian Gravitation. €�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. Posted on November 28, 2012 by B Talbott. Here the E's are the energies in the universe. I finally understand Minkowski's metric for General Relativity (A*G + B*M)^2 +(E0)^2= (Et)^2 -(E')^2. A gravity probe whose origins date to the era before human spaceflight has finally proved general relativity right, according to NASA.
