Einstein’s general theory of relativity

According to the hereby used theory of superluminal relativity [5], nuclear forces are explained by Newton s gravitational law and Einstein s general theory of relativity [10], with the gravitational constant defined and determined by the quantum mass theory [4], for masses and distances characteristic for nuclear structures. 

It also remains to be seen whether the present picture would allow for gravitational waves as predicted by the Einstein s general theory of relativity. On one hand, the present quantum model would not be against "action at a distance" on the other hand, a different, perhaps a soliton-like mechanism, would be needed to produce the latter. 

Since photons are absorbed to change the spin projection of an electron from —1/2 to+1/2, the spin of the photon must be 1. The graviton has been postulated to carry a spin of 2, because of the symmetry of the equations in Einstein s general theory of relativity (gravity comes from the rank-2 stress-energy tensor).

Alexandr Alexandrovitch Friedmann (1888-1925), Russian mathematician and physicist, in his articie in Zeit. Phys., 10, 377 (1922), proved on the basis of Einstein s general theory of relativity that the curvature of the Universe must change, which became the basis of cosmological models of the expanding Universe. During World War I, Friedman was a pilot in the Russian army and made bombing raids over my beloved Przemysl. 

Einstein s general theory of relativity). This would mean that the currently occurring expansion of the Universe (discovered by Hubble) would finally stop, and its collapse would follow. If the neutrino mass turned out to be too small, then the Universe would continue its expansion. Thus, quantum chemical calculations for the HeT+ molecule may turn out to be helpful in predicting our fate (unfortunately, being crushed or frozen). So far, the estimate of neutrino mass gives a value smaller than 1 eV, which indicates the expansion of the universe. ... 

This wonderful presentation of Einstein s general theory of relativity and its application to cosmology gives an almost complete introduction to special relativity at the beginning of the book. The reader will also find an interesting outline of the historical development of this epxjchal theory. 

This is the basic principle of Einstein s special theory of relativity. However, Einstein was not content with the apparent absolute status conferred to accelerating frames by the behaviour of bodies within them. Einstein sought a general principle of relativity that would require all frames of reference, whatever their relative state of motion, to be equivalent for the formulation of the general laws of nature. In his popular exposition of 1916, Einstein explains this by describing the experiences of an observer... 

If a beam of light can be considered to be a stream of particles (photons), do the photons have mass The answer to this question is no. Photons do not exhibit mass in the same way as classical particles do. Einstein s equations, however, predict that a photon has momentum, which is best thought of as an intrinsic property of the photon that does not depend separately on mass and velocity, unlike the case for a classical particle. In 1922 American physicist Arthur Compton performed experiments involving collisions of X rays with electrons. These experiments showed that photons do exhibit the momentum calculated from Einstein s equation. Also, photons do seem to be affected by gravity, as Einstein postulated in his general theory of relativity. However, it is important to recognize that the photon is in no sense a typical particle. A photon has mass only in a relativistic sense—it has no rest mass. 

Minkowski) as co-ordinates in a four-dimensional space, in which x z ictf represents the square of the distance from the origin a Lorentz transformation then represents a rotation round the origin in this space. Minkowski s idea has developed into a geometrical view of the fundamental laws of physics, culminating in the inclusion of gravitation in Einstein s so-called general theory of relativity. 

Abstract The Hilbert-Einstein field equations describe the structure of space-time in the general theory of relativity. Their simplified form, in a vacuum, was discovered in 1913 by Marcel Grossmann in two joint publications with Einstein, who, for his part, rejected this idea and presented another hypothesis... He reverted to Grossmann s idea only two years later. 

Newton s concept of gravity held until the beginning of the 20th century, when Einstein proposed his general theory of relativity. The key to Einstein s version is that inertia occurs when objects are in free-fall instead of when they are at rest. The theory of general relativity has been well accepted because of how its predictions have been repeatedly confirmed. 

Dr. Humphreys s model is then built on these two observations 1) that the speed at which something travels is the distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel it, and 2) that gravity distorts time (as put forward by Einstein in his general theory of relativity). The stronger the gravitational puU, the slower time is perceived to be. Likewise, the weaker the gravitational pull, the faster time is perceived to be. 

The biggest surprise about de Sitter s solution was that, although a legitimate solution of Einstein s gravitational field equations, it violates Mach s principle, which Einstein considered to be the pillar that supports the general theory of relativity. 

Topologically there is no mystery. Any large-scale rotation must appear to be centred at the observer and indeed, the identity of the Einstein and Godel stress tensors shows that the held equations have two basically different solutions for the same T, one rotating and the other static. The Godel solution therefore is consistent with the general theory of relativity, but not with Mach s principle (Adler et ah, 1965, p.377).
