General relativity

When you emit gravitational waves, they have to pass through the Universe. But do they gravitate, too?

STRETCHING SPACETIME According to general relativity, the sun’s mass makes an imprint on the fabric of spacetime that keeps the planets in orbit. A neutron star leaves a greater mark. But a black hole is so dense that it creates a pit deep enough to preve

The Physics of the Universe - Special and General Relativity - General Theory of Relativity

Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is the basis for our understanding of the universe, but if you still aren't quite sure how it works, this video does an excellent job of explaining.

Obsessed with space? This mind-blowing poster showcasing Einstein's General Theory of Relativity is a must-have for your home. Ditch the dull, embrace the dazzling: This poster boasts a high-resolution image (a whopping 495 DPI!) printed directly onto Dibond® aluminium. That means insanely sharp details and vibrant colours, even in large areas. Plus, the matte finish cuts down on glare, keeping the focus on the intricate equations. Built to last, built to impress: This poster isn't just a…

Many researchers believe that physics will not be complete until it can explain not just the behaviour of space and time, but where these entities come from.

Sacred Geometry on Instagram: "In Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, space and time are unified into a single entity called spacetime. This is the "stage" at which the laws of physics operate. ㅤ In Einstein's theory, the presence of mass and energy distorts space-time, and it is this curvature that affects objects in the way that we perceive gravity. The basic idea is that while we see objects accelerating towards a mass by the effect of a force, it is really just the object trying to…

SPECIAL VS GENERAL relativity . . . gee, I never CAN keep these two straight!
