General relativity Quote by Chen-Ning Yang

I always found it satisfying that gravity was described by Einstein's geometric theory of general relativity.

— Antony Garrett Lisi

General relativity is the cornerstone of cosmology and astrophysics. It has also provided the conceptual basis for string theory and other attempts to unify…

— Paul Davies

The field equations and the whole history of general relativity have been complicated.

— Rainer Weiss

“Impressed by the success of high-level mathematics in the formulation of the general theory of relativity in 1915, we find that Einstein's life-long quest…

M-theory is the unified theory Einstein was hoping to find.

— Stephen Hawking

When general relativity was first put forward in 1915, the math was very unfamiliar to most physicists. Now we teach general relativity to advanced…

— Brian Greene

One of the main successes of string theory is that it has been able to unify the general theory of relativity, which describes gravity,…

— Ashoke Sen

Einstein's relativity work is a magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a…

“In its final form, the general theory of relativity was just a reinterpretation of the existing mathematics of curved spaces in terms of gravitation,…

— Steven Weinberg

“Insofar as the general theory of relativity follows Mach's ideas, it can be seen as expressing the distribution of masses in terms of properties…
