Relativity Theory: Genesis and Completion
AbstractThis is a concise survey of the history of the relativity theory from the Galileo relativity principle to the general formulation of the...
-
Measurement Theory and General Relativity
The theory of measurement is employed to elucidate the physical basis of general relativity. For measurements involving phenomena with intrinsic...
-
Relativity
Astronomical observations bridge distances so large that the time taken by the light in passing from its source to the observer exceeds by far the...
-
Special Relativity Theory
The concept of an inertial frame and the implications of the Michelson-Morley experiment are discussed. Because of its great importance to physics in...

First results of the LARES 2 space experiment to test the general theory of relativity
The LAGEOS 3 (today LARES 2) space experiment was proposed in the eighties by the Physics Department and by the Center of Space Research (CSR) of the...

Gravitational Waves Sans General Theory of Relativity
The detection of gravitational waves is considered one of the definitive tests of the general theory of relativity. This chapter will examine how...

Principle of Relativity
Based on a thought experimentThought experiment devised by Galileo, this chapter aims to explain the principle of relativityPrinciple of...

CMB, Hawking, Planck, and Hubble Scale Relations Consistent with Recent Quantization of General Relativity Theory
We are demonstrating new relationships among the Hawking temperature, the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature, and the Planck scale. When...

Relativity of Simultaneity
After all the preparations in the last six chapters, we can finally deal with the first of the various very surprising effects of the special theory...

Quantum General Relativity and Effective Field Theory
This is a review of some of the concepts and results of the effective field theory treatment of quantum general relativity. Included are lessons of...

The Heuristic Power of Theory Classification, the Case of General Relativity
In this article, we explore the heuristic power of the theoretical distinction between framework and interaction theories applied to the case of...

Problems of Experimental Verification of the Theory of General Relativity
Abstract —On April 14, 2007, at a meeting of the American Physical Society in Jacksonville (Florida), the famous American gyroscopist Francis Everitt...
-
Foundations of General Relativity
The principle of relativity requires that the laws of physics have the same mathematical expression in all inertial coordinate systems. When applied...
-
Theory of Special Relativity
In Mechanics, one first investigates the motion of particles. In classical Newtonian mechanics, a path is a map from...

Special Relativity
The traditional way to formulate special relativity is to use the so-called \(3+1\)...

Introduction to Doubly Special Relativity
What is the fate of Lorentz symmetry at Planck scale? This question was the main theme of the Winter School and, as the reader could see from the...

Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity
Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity (GTR) is also the modern theory of gravitation. The theory generalises the notion of a ‘flat’ and empty...

The Reception of the Special Relativity in Europe
In the previous three chapters, it was established that Poincaré had laid the foundations of the special theory of relativity long before Einstein....

Towards General Relativity
The natural next step now would be to make Newton’s theory of gravitation compatible with special relativity. Contrary to Maxwell’s electrodynamics,...

Complete General Relativity
AbstractComplete General Relativity is the Einstein theory that discloses the deeply hidden general covariant gauge nature of gravity. The general...
