Henri Poincaré's 1905 theory of the dynamics of the electron was a relativistic theory which he applied to all forces, … See more

General relativity can be understood by examining its similarities with and departures from classical physics. The first step is the realization that classical mechanics and Newton's law of gravity admit a ge… See more

The derivation outlined in the previous section contains all the information needed to define general relativity, describe its key properties, and address a question of crucial importance in physics, namely how the theory … See more

General relativity has a number of physical consequences. Some follow directly from the theory's axioms, whereas others have become clear only in the course of many years of research that followed Einstein's initial public… See more

Examples of physicists who support neo-Lorentzian explanations of general relativity are Franco Selleri and Antony Valentini. See more

The deflection of light by gravity is responsible for a new class of astronomical phenomena. If a massive object is situated between the astronomer and a distant target object with appropriate mass and relative dist… See more
