41. General Relativity And Black Holes
    general relativity and Black Holes. How is the geometry around a Black Hole? A Black Hole is one of the most fascinating objects  
    http://www.astro.ku.dk/~cramer/RelViz/text/exhib1/exhib1.html
    
    Extractions: A Black Hole is one of the most fascinating objects in the universe, and it can be understood on basis of Einstein's general theory of relativity. In the following pages, you will get an impression of how the curvature changes near a Black Hole, what happens when the hole rotates, and what special effects the Black Hole has on particles and light moving close to the Black Hole. I will not go in much detail with the formulas, because the aim of this World Wide Web Exhibition is presentation and graphics. You can, if you want, read all the relevant details about metric tensors of Black Holes in this hypertext about "Geometry Around Black Holes". Instead, I will use some of the fundamental results to get a view of the geometry around a Black Hole. I will concentrate on curvature and the trajectories of relativistic particles. In flat (euclidian) space, bodies move in a background of space and time. Newton called it absolute space and absolute time. Einstein changed this view radically in 1915 when he completed his general theory of relativity which resulted in a unified 4-dimensional space-time . All distances along a world line are called separations , and they are measured by the metric: This metric defines flat Minkowski space-time , and is much like Newtons absolute space plus a time dimension (note the sign of the time is negative).

    http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/GeneralRelativity.html
    
    Extractions: A theory invented by Albert Einstein which describes gravitational forces in terms of the curvature in space caused by the presence of mass. The fundamental principle of general relativity asserts that accelerated reference frames and reference frames in gravitation fields are equivalent. General relativity states that clocks run slower in strong gravitational fields (or highly accelerated frames), predicting a gravitational redshift . It also predicts the existence of gravitational lensing gravitational waves gravitomagnetism , the Lense-Thirring effect , and relativistic precession of orbiting bodies.

    general relativity does not allow one to specify the topology of space, leaving the possibility that space is multi rather than simply- connected. This paper reviews the mathematical properties of multi-connected spaces, and the different tools to classify them and to analyse their properties.

53. General Relativity In The Global Positioning System
    general relativity in the global positioning system. Neil Ashby University of Colorado n_ashby@mobek.colorado.edu. The Global Position  
    http://www.phys.lsu.edu/mog/mog9/node9.html
    
    Extractions: n_ashby@mobek.colorado.edu The Global Position System (GPS) consists of 24 earth-orbiting satellites, each carrying accurate, stable atomic clocks. Four satellites are in each of six different orbital planes, of inclination 55 degrees with respect to earth's equator. Orbital periods are 12 hours (sidereal), so that the apparent position of a satellite against the background of stars repeats in 12 hours. Clock-driven transmitters send out synchronous time signals, tagged with the position and time of the transmission event, so that a receiver near the earth can determine its position and time by decoding navigation messages from four satellites to find the transmission event coordinates, and then solving four simultaneous one-way signal propagation equations. Conversely, gamma-ray detectors on the satellites could determine the space-time coordinates of a nuclear event by measuring signal arrival times and solving four one-way propagation delay equations. Apart possibly from high-energy accelerators, there are no other engineering systems in existence today in which both special and general relativity have so many applications. The system is based on the principle of the constancy of c in a local inertial frame: the Earth-Centered Inertial or ECI frame. Time dilation of moving clocks is significant for clocks in the satellites as well as clocks at rest on earth. The weak principle of equivalence finds expression in the presence of several sources of large gravitational frequency shifts. Also, because the earth and its satellites are in free fall, gravitational frequency shifts arising from the tidal potentials of the moon and sun are only a few parts in

54. Ricci: A Mathematica Package For Doing Tensor Calculations In Differential Geome
    A Mathematica package for doing tensor calculations in differential geometry and general relativity.  
    http://www.math.washington.edu/~lee/Ricci/
    
    Extractions: Last Updated November 12, 2002 Ricci is a Mathematica package for doing symbolic tensor computations that arise in differential geometry. It has the following features and capabilities: Limitations: Ricci currently does not support computation of explicit values for tensor components in coordinates, or derivatives of tensors depending on parameters (as in geometric evolution equations or calculus of variations), although support for these is planned for a future release. Ricci also has no explicit support for general relativity, or for other mathematical physics or engineering applications, and none is planned. If you are interested in such support, I recommend that you consider the commercial package MathTensor, which is far more extensive than Ricci, and provides all these capabilities and more. MathTensor is available from

58. Early Philosophical Interpretations Of General Relativity
    NOV 28 2001. Early Philosophical Interpretations of general relativity. Einstein and the History of general relativity. (Boston, Basel, Berlin Birkhäuser).  
    http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/genrel-early/
    
    Extractions: NOV Extraordinary public clamor greeted an announcement of the joint meeting of the Royal Society of London and the Royal Astronomical Society on the 6th of November, 1919. To within acceptable margin of error, astronomical observations during the solar eclipse the previous May 29 th revealed the displacement of starlight passing near the surface of the sun predicted by Einstein's gravitational theory of curved spacetime. By dint of having "overthrown" such a permanent fixture of the cognitive landscape as Newtonian gravitational theory, the general theory of relativity at once became a principal focus of philosophical interest and inquiry. Although some physicists and philosophers initially opposed it, mostly on non-physical grounds, surveyed here are the principal philosophical interpretations of the theory accepting it as a definite advance in physical knowledge. Even so, these include positions ill-informed as to the mathematics and physics of the theory. Further lack of clarity stemmed from the scientific

    A two part overview of the Shapiro radar bounce test of general relativity. (The two parts consist of a section for normal people, and one for nerds)  
    http://world.std.com/~sweetser/PopScience/timeDelay/timeDelay.html
    
    Extractions: installation 1995 For Folks It takes a few minutes for light to get to Mercury from Earth, but it takes a little longer due to the Sun. Radar signals from the Haystack Observatory in Westford Massachusetts were sent out into space to bounce off Mercury. The time the radar signals spent flying between the two planets was carefully measured. As the radar's path in space moved closer to the Sun, a small time delay grew in the radar reflections which is given by equations in the big, black book (Gravitation, by Misner, Thorne and Wheeler). Written in chalk is the artist's method to calculate the time delay. The tools used come directly from quantum mechanics which is not supposed to be an aid for such a calculation. Yet the results are the same (equation 40.13). For Nerds Irwin I. Shapiro measured the time delay of radar reflections off Mercury caused by the gravitational field of the Sun. The logarithmic dependence on the impact parameter confirmed general relativity's prediction. The Lorentz group will be employed for a similar end. The gravitational fields for a bound test mass are characterized by a member of the Lorentz group in the following manner: take the Newtonian orbital velocity
