Evidence in support of general relativity came quickly. Astronomers had long known that Mercury’s orbital motion around the sun deviated slightly from… — Brian Greene 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
“Again Einstein comes to the rescue with a loophole, this time from his general relativity theory, which says that gravity is caused… — Max Tegmark Copy Share Image
“Not so. You have been doing that quite frequently now. Rest easy. Later the whole of quantum mechanics will be placed in… — Kim Stanley Robinson Copy Share Image
“In the early universe—when the universe was small enough to be governed by both general relativity and quantum theory—there were effectively four… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
[John Wheeler] rejuvenated general relativity; he made it an experimental subject and took it away from the mathematicians — Freeman Dyson 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
So what I'm saying is why don't we think about changing Schrodinger's equation at some level when masses become too big at… — Roger Penrose 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
Science is not just for an elite few. Science's vision of the universe is becoming increasingly inaccessible. That doesn't mean it's wrong.… — Margaret Wertheim Copy Share Image
An extrapolation of its present rate of growth reveals that in the not too distant future Physical Review will fill bookshelves at… — David Mermin Copy Share Image
However we select from nature a complex [of phenomena] using the criterion of simplicity, in no case will its theoretical treatment turn… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
“Accelerating to speeds faster than light was, of course, impossible. General relativity had made that clear enough back in the twentieth century.… — Charles Stross 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
“Although in the external reality of general relativity, you’re an extended braidlike pattern in a static four-dimensional spacetime,” — Max Tegmark Copy Share Image
“The skeptical Silberstein came up to Eddington and said that people believed that only three scientists in the world understood general relativity.… — Walter Isaacson 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 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
“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
“So why do it?,’ he challenged. ‘Why return to biological when a quantum existence can empower you to overcome general relativity and… — Trevor Barton Copy Share Image
I always found it satisfying that gravity was described by Einstein's geometric theory of general relativity. — Antony Garrett Lisi Copy Share Image
[Max Planck] was one of the finest people I have ever known... but he really didn't understand physics, [because] during the eclipse… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Einstein had two new predictions from general relativity. One was that light would bend. That was tested in 1919, and basically, he… — Barry Barish 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
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
