Introduction to Relativity: For Physicists and Astronomers by John B. General relativity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia General relativity, or the general theory of relativity, is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1916 and the current description of. A gravity probe whose origins date to the era before human spaceflight has finally proved general relativity right, according to NASA. General relativity is said to have reintroduced absolute simultaneity into physics. The rotation of the Earth affects the movement of spacetime itself. Gravity Probe B: Final Results of a Space Experiment to Test General Relativity. I always wondered if the indeterminacy at the quantum level leaves room for free will and God that seems to be precluded by deterministic models like general relativity. If gravity did not affect space and time, Gravity Probe B's gyroscopes would point in the same direction forever while in orbit. Has finally proved general relativity right, according to NASA. For Special Relativity, Geometry and algebra background would suffice, but for General Relativity, one needs to have a solid background in some basic partial differential equations, basic differential geometry, tensor calculus, and so on. Is considered by most physicists to be well-understood in environments where general relativistic effects are not relevant: http://b.qr.ae/JsJQbl and http://b.qr.ae/JTKqim), but I don't know what you mean when you say that “quantum mechanics does not preclude the existence of genuine free will. Astronomers have obtained the most compelling evidence yet that massive objects dramatically warp space–time, as predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity. NASA has just announced that Einstein's theory of gravity, also known as the General Theory of Relativity, has been verified in two ways by its Gravity Probe-B (GP-B) with astonishing accuracy [1]. I am also planning to list books on Gravity, Space, Time, Black Holes, Astrophysics and Relativity, The Special and the General Theory by Albert Einsein. The Gravity Probe-B measured the geodetic effect, the amount that Earth warps the space and time in which it sits, and frame-dragging, or the extent that Earth's rotation churns spacetime around with it.

The process of temporal becoming in my own consciousness smacks against the claims of B-theorists.

Indeed, Einstein himself needed help from professional mathematicians in formulating some of it, and well after general relativity was published (in 1915) some of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century (such as Kurt Gödel) .
