Theory of general relativity

In 1916 Einstein completed his most widely known book on the special and the general theory of relativity, popularly explained, wrote the first paper on gravitational waves, and became president of the Deutsche Physikalische GeseJlschaft. In 1917 he became ill, suffering successively from a liver ailment, a stomach ulcer, jaundice, and general weakness, but nevertheless he managed to complete the first paper on relativistic cosmology. He did not fully recover until 1920. [Pg.384]

There is no reason why a successful accommodation] should not count just as highly for a theory as a predictive success—nothing prevents the former being just as severe a test for the theory as the latter. So planetary stations and retrogressions and the precession of the equinoxes—which Copemican theory and Newtonian theory, respectively, accommodated —fully supported those theories. Or, to take another example, the precession of Mercury s perihelion, which had been known about for decades beforehand, fully supported the general theory of relativity. [Pg.62]

Einstein was cautious about this revolutionary idea. Furthermore, he was absorbed in sorting out another set of revolutionary ideas the general theory of relativity. After clearing that up. [Pg.24]

The universe expanded according to the general theory of relativity. Good Passes all previous tests, but only a few of these were stringent. [Pg.21]

Nobel Prize-winner Albert Einstein (1879-1955) is recognized as one of the greatest physicists of all time and the most important scientist of the 20th century. He proposed the special and general theories of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of space and time. He... [Pg.205]

The transition from a macroscopic description to the microscopic level is always a complicated mathematical problem (the so-called many-particle problem) having no universal solution. To illustrate this point, we recommend to consider first the motion of a single particle and then the interaction of two particles, etc. The problem is well summarized in the following remark from a book by Mattuck [18] given here in a shortened form. For the Newtonian mechanics of the 18th century the three-body problem was unsolvable. The general theory of relativity and quantum electrodynamics created unsolvable two-body and single-body problems. Finally, for the modem quantum field... [Pg.12]

In a first approximation the 70 years of Ya.B. s life can be divided into four periods 1914-1930 — childhood and high school 1931-1947 — the Institute of Chemical Physics, the study of adsorption, catalysis, phase transitions, hydrodynamics, and, most importantly, the theory of combustion and detonation with application to rocket ballistics, and the first papers on nuclear chain reactions 1947-1963 — work on the creation of a new technology, nuclear physics and elementary particle physics, and a textbook, Higher Mathematics for Beginners 1964-1987 — astronomy, including application of the general theory of relativity, and cosmology. [Pg.5]

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. [Pg.658]

SA = 0 subject to the energy constraint restates the principle of least action. When the external potential function is constant, the definition of ds as a path element implies that the system trajectory is a geodesic in the Riemann space defined by the mass tensor m . This anticipates the profound geometrization of dynamics introduced by Einstein in the general theory of relativity. [Pg.20]

Note that the condition r>,u — rK(f) — (f M/c2) follows from the definition of p. Quantum conditions further yield r> 2/z. Note the incompatibility between the force defined in Eq. (50) and the energy law defined by the theory of special theory of relativity. One should note here that Einstein, in his studies of the general theory of relativity, started from the force law... [Pg.129]
