To discover how we as engineers (or other interested people) may interpret Einstein's very brief "answer", here are two links that tell the story:. We can now dive into the awesomeness of General Relativity. This was a daunting challenge, and one which most people judiciously ignored until Albert Einstein began working on General Relativity in 1907. Sep 20, 2009 - But I came across this reference which seem to strongly suggest that while Einstein was busy playing violin and discussing philosophy in the Prague Circle - and working on his General Theory of Relativity - he indeed may have come under signficant conceptual Einstein's idea was to actually include electromagnetic fields in his gravitational field equations by introducing them (by means of their potentials) into the metric components of space-time, in first place. I've already said that Isaac Newton was bothered by his own theory of gravity because it seemed to involve things affecting each other through empty space, without ever coming into contact. May 15, 2014 - I am familiar with the tools that appear in (linear) perturbation theory for general relativity, that is namely that one writes: $$g_{\mu \nu} The scalar field that is introduced as a perturbation generates stress-energy for the space-time. What I want Furthermore, your question appears to be applicable not only to quasinormal modes, but linearized gravity in general. Dec 23, 2011 - If you ask a physicist to think of the Einstein equation, though, this is the one they'll think of. Jul 20, 2011 - I learnt general relativity from Hartle's “Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein's General Relativity” and your book. I think for beginning graduate level general relativity your book is the best. May 23, 2011 - To be sure, the Gravity Probe B experiment is a fantastic achievement that offers spectacular evidence in support of two distinct predictions of the general theory of relativity. Jun 30, 2011 - “Equivalence of matter and energy, E = mc2 (and by implication, the ability of gravity-and matter generally-to "bend" light), the existence of "rest energy", and the basis of nuclear energy (the conversion of matter to energy by humans and in the cosmos).” (Wikipedia) These Introductory Comments are copyrighted: Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of general relativity, effecting a revolution in physics. Dec 19, 2006 - Stated differently, general relativity reduces to special relativity in the case of negligible gravity. The perturbed Einstein equations then say that the metric will have its behaviour modified.
