“It sometimes happens that mathematical methods conceived in the abstract turn out later to be so well suited to a particular application… — Basil Mahon Copy Share Image
“In its final form, the general theory of relativity was just a reinterpretation of the existing mathematics of curved spaces in terms… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
“Most kinds of matter are under pressure, but the dark energy is under tension-that is, it pulls things together rather than pushes… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
I have an abiding interest in how ordinary people produce knowledge, and what it means for individuals to know the world. I… — Margaret Wertheim Copy Share Image
“All knowledge of reality starts from experience and ends in it.” But he immediately proceeded to emphasize the role that “pure reason”… — Walter Isaacson Copy Share Image
“Albert Einstein was certainly the most important physicist of the twentieth century. Perhaps his greatest work was his discovery of general relativity,… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
In the context of general relativity, space almost is a substance. It can bend and twist and stretch, and probably the best… — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
I became interested in this question of whether you can build wormholes for interstellar travel. I realized that if you had a… — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
General relativity predicts that time ends inside black holes because the gravitational collapse squeezes matter to infinite density. — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity are both accepted as scientific fact even though they're mutually exclusive. Albert Einstein spent the second half… — Roy H. Williams Copy Share Image
“The dark-matter hypothesis is preferred mostly because the only other possibility-that we are wrong about Newton's laws, and by extension general relativity-is… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“A mathematician tells you that the wall of warped space prevents the Moon from flying out of its orbit yet can't tell… — Bill Gaede Copy Share Image
In Einstein's general relativity the structure of space can change but not its topology. Topology is the property of something that doesn't… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
The real reason why general relativity is widely accepted is because it made predictions that were borne out by experimental observations. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
What you can show using physics, forces this universe to continue to exist. As long as you're using general relativity and quantum… — Frank Tipler Copy Share Image
When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence: Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
When general relativity was first put forward in 1915, the math was very unfamiliar to most physicists. Now we teach general relativity… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
“The notion of Local Inertial Frame is crucial to understanding Nature and, in particular, General Relativity. Notwithstanding, very few popular science books… — Felix Alba-Juez Copy Share Image
“The infinite zero of a black hole-mass crammed into zero space, curving space infinitely-punches a hole in the smooth rubber sheet. The… — Charles Seife Copy Share Image
