WEB29 Nov 2023 · Dragging of inertial frames, or frame-dragging as Einstein named it [1,2,3], is a phenomenon predicted by his theory of general relativity [4,5,6,7,8,9,10].Frame-dragging is the dragging of the inertial frames and of the spacetime structure by a current of mass-energy, such as the rotation of a body, e.g., the rotating Earth.
Incompleteness Theorems for Observables in General Relativity
WEB8 May 2023 · The quest for complete observables in general relativity has been a longstanding open problem. We employ methods from descriptive set theory to show that no complete observable on rich enough collections of spacetimes is Borel definable. In fact, we show that it is consistent with the Zermelo-Fraenkel and Dependent Choice axioms …
general relativity - GR: why "background-independent" and not …
WEB9 Nov 2023 · The General relativity describes gravitation as pseudo-Riemannian locally Lorenztian (Minkowski) manifold called spacetime. It is not generated by matter. Matter for gravitation is merely a distortion of its geometry. On the other hand, a warped spacetime changes the energistic properties of matter (tensor T). An empty universe is an oxymoron.

WEB31 Jan 2024 · The objectives of this subject are to: Introduce the theoretical framework and experimental necessity of Einstein's theory of general relativity; Understand the principles of general relativity and physics in curved spacetime; Develop tools to enable the quantitative calculation of general relativistic effects; Provide a foundation for more ...
A Century Later, New Math Smooths Out General Relativity
WEB30 Nov 2023 · Yet the mathematics of general relativity is also profoundly counterintuitive. Because its basic equations are so complicated, even the simplest-sounding statements are difficult to prove. For example, it was not until around 1980 that mathematicians proved, as part of a major theorem in general relativity, that an isolated physical system, or space, …
Acceleration (special relativity) - Wikipedia
WEB2 May 2024 · Acceleration (special relativity) Accelerations in special relativity (SR) follow, as in Newtonian Mechanics, by differentiation of velocity with respect to time. Because of the Lorentz transformation and time dilation, the concepts of time and distance become more complex, which also leads to more complex definitions of "acceleration".

From guiding us through unknown city streets to tracking our morning runs, the marvels of GPS technology touch our daily lives in countless ways. But behind …
Groundbreaking new measurements confirm one of Einstein's
WEB20 Feb 2024 · According to his general theory of relativity, Einstein postulates that gravity can actually affect the flow of time and that objects further away from the Earth’s gravitational pull (e.g. an ...
