General relativity:
a brief explanation of the fundamentals ideas
Before beginning this brief article, dealing with the essential features of general relativity, we have to postulate one thing: special relativity is supposed to be true. Hence, general relativity lies on special relativity. If the latter were proved to be false, the whole edifice would collapse. In order to understand general relativity, we have to define how mass is defined in classical mechanics.

General relativity is a theory of gravitation and to understand the background to the theory we have to look at how theories of gravitation developed. Aristotle 's notion of the motion of bodies impeded understanding of gravitation for a long time. He believed that force could only be applied by contact, force at a distance being impossible, and a constant force was required to maintain a body in uniform motion. Copernicus 's view of the solar system was important as it allowed sensible consideration of gravitation. Kepler 's laws of planetary motion and Galileo 's understanding of the motion and falling bodies set the scene for Newton 's theory of gravity which was presented in the Principia in 1687. Newton 's law of gravitation is expressed by F G M M d where F is the force between the bodies of masses M M and d is the distance between them. G is the universal gravitational constant. After receiving their definitive analytic form from Euler Newton 's axioms of motion were reworked by Lagrange Hamilton , and Jacobi into very powerful and general methods, which employed new analytic quantities, such as potential, related to force but remote from everyday experience.

Ellipsoidal shapes in general relativity: general definitions and an application
Authors: Jozsef Zsigrai
Comments: Submitted to Class. Quantum Grav
A generalization of the notion of ellipsoids to curved Riemannian spaces is given and its possible use to describe the shapes of rotating bodies in general relativity is considered. As an illustrative example, stationary, axisymmetric perfect-fluid spacetimes with a so-called confocal inside ellipsoidal symmetry are investigated in detail under the assumption that the 4-velocity of the fluid is parallel to a time-like Killing vector field. A class of perfect-fluid metrics representing interior NUT-spacetimes is obtained along with a vacuum solution with a non-zero cosmological constant.

Exploring Black Holes
Introduction to General Relativity

Edwin F. Taylor and
John Archibald Wheeler

Addison Wesley Longman Albert Einstein told us that a star or other massive object distorts spacetime in its vicinity. Sufficient distortion makes it impossible to describe matter and motion with the single "inertial reference frame" used in Newton's theory of mechanics and Einstein's theory of special relativity. General relativity describes the distortion of spacetime near a star, white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole and predicts the resulting motion of stones, satellites, and light flashes. Learning general relativity usually requires mastering Einstein's field equations, which are expressed in the complicated mathematics of tensors or differential forms. But big chunks of general relativity require only calculus if one starts with the metric describing spacetime around Earth or black hole. Expressions for energy and angular momentum follow, along with predictions for the motions of particles and light. Students study the Global Positioning system, precession of Mercury's orbit, gravitational red shift, orbits of light and deflection of light by Sun, the gravitational retardation of light, and frame-dragging near a rotating body.

General Relativity
General relativity is the theory of spacetime structure and gravitation formulated by Einstein in 1915. Present day research in general relativity focuses mainly on three major areas: (1) mathematical aspects of the classical theory of general relativity, (2) implications of the theory for astrophysics and cosmology and (3) the quantum theory of gravitation. Research in all of these areas is actively pursued at Chicago. Although the classical theory of general relativity is a complete, well-formulated theory, the equations of the theory are sufficiently difficult to solve in general situations that we still do not know precisely what the theory predicts in a wide variety of circumstances. Thus, a great deal of effort has gone into proving general theorems about aspects such as the inevitability of gravitational collapse to singularities under a wide variety of initial conditions. In addition, because of the basic framework of the theory abandons the pre-assigned, rigid spacetime structure of special relativity, the definition of such an elementary property as the angular momentum of an isolated system becomes highly nontrivial and a number of other simple issues regarding properties of isolated systems have not been resolved. Research in these and other mathematical aspects of classical general relativity is actively pursued at Chicago, primarily by Robert Geroch. One of the most striking consequences of general relativity is its prediction of the existence of black holesthe "regions of no escape" formed by the complete gravitational collapse of a body. It has been proven that black holes are uniquely determined by their mass, angular momentum, and electric charge, and many remarkable predictionssuch as the possibility of the extraction of energy from a rotating black holehave been made. In addition, the equations describing the propagation of small electromagnetic and gravitational disturbances near a black hole possess many remarkable properties. Research in this area has been actively pursued at Chicago.

General relativity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. General Relativity is the common name for the theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in . According to general relativity the force of gravity is a manifestation of the local geometry of spacetime . Although the modern theory is due to Einstein, its origins go back to the axioms of Euclidean geometry and the many attempts over the centuries to prove Euclid 's fifth postulate, that parallel lines remain always equidistant, culminating with the realisation by Bolyai and Gauss that this axiom need not be true. The general mathematics of non-Euclidean geometries was developed by Gauss' student

    General Description of the Unit
    General relativity is a physical theory, in which gravitational effects are incorporated into the four dimensional space-time of special relativity by making it curved. The motion of particles in a gravitational field is simply described by saying that they take paths of extremal length (geodesics) in space-time. General relativity is needed to describe small effects in weak gravitational fields such as the gravitational time dilation (essential for precise timing as in the GPS navigation system: see Physics Today, May 2002) and the bending of light (leading to gravitational lensing effects) but the most spectacular predictions such as black holes are a consequence of the theory applied to strong gravitational fields. It is also needed to understand the large scale structure of the Universe, covered in the related level 4 unit in physics

    Click here to go to the UPSCALE home page. Click here to go to the JPU200Y home page. Click here to go to the Physics Virtual Bookshelf. Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity of 1905 concerns itself with observers who are in uniform relative motion. His General Theory of Relativity of 1916 considers observers in any state of relative motion including acceleration. It will turn out that this will also be a theory of gravitation. This document introduces the General Theory of Relativity.
    Three "Easy" Pieces
    Einstein used three different pieces to built the General Theory of Relativity, which we describe here.
    Piece 1 - Geometry is Physics
    Consider the figure to the right, which shows a distant star, the Sun, and the Earth. Clearly the figure is not drawn to scale. There is a straight dotted line connecting the star and the Earth. Imagine a light ray that leaves the star along the dotted line: it is headed directly for the Earth. However, we know that E = m c . And since the light that left the star has energy, we now know that it also has a mass. And

    Dubna, Moscow Region 141980, RUSSIA Abstract: It is shown that general-relativistic (like special-relativistic) time is larger than the proper one (gravitational time dilation). This conclusion contradicts the experiments on the gravitation time slowing down. Special Theory of Relativity (STR) Recall that time t plays the role of the fourth coordinate of the united Minkowski space-time. As a result, according to STR, the duration of physical processes depends on movement velocity v. This is expressed by the known equation of relativistic time dilation (increase) /c One should pay attention to a poor expression: "time dilation." As known, the change of time rate is conditioned by changing the time standard. But in the given case, dt and dτ are measured in the same seconds. The increase of the lifetime of moving elementary particles (relativistic time is larger than the proper one) is the known consequence of eq.(1).
