Start here if you missed the intro. Ever since Albert Einstein proposed his general theory of relativity in 1915, scientists have found that his predictions work beautifully when describing the gravity of massive objects and its pull on space-time. Up until now, we've been talking about something called special relativity. Our habits in general relativity are different. General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology We also discuss the status of the classification of near-horizon geometries in theories ranging from vacuum gravity, Einstein-Maxwell theory and supergravity theories. It is amazing that over a hundred years ago the specific and general theory of relativity was published by Albert Einstein the odd mathematician that spent months in his basement thinking and testing mathematical models. Scientists expect that Einstein's theory of general relativity, which is already incompatible with quantum physics, would at some point no longer hold true in extreme conditions. This is an introduction to Einstein's space-bending, time-stretching theory of Relativity, written by the master himself. Physics itself is riven by the competing frameworks of quantum theory and general relativity, whose differing descriptions of our world eerily mirror the wave-particle tension. A unique and exotic laboratory about 6800 light-years from Earth is helping Earth-based astronomers test Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity in ways not possible until now. But we never ignore this problem in string theory. Welcome to part 3 of my series on the theory of relativity for kids. We don't sweep it under the rug.
