- No matter how hard you try to teach your cat general relativity, you're going to fail.
- String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner. I do believe the…
- When general relativity was first put forward in 1915, the math was very unfamiliar to most physicists. Now we teach general relativity to advanced high…
- The real reason why general relativity is widely accepted is because it made predictions that were borne out by experimental observations.
