Quantum Mechanics vs General Relativity. IT TOOK FIVE DECADES from conception to results, but finally NASA's Gravity Probe B has confirmed two cherished predictions of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Then devise a means to test that theory by designing an. A gravity probe whose origins date to the era before human spaceflight has finally proved general relativity right, according to NASA. God - Albert Einstein, Black Holes and the Collapse Of Physics As We Know it. The Gravity Probe-B measured the geodetic effect, the amount that Earth warps the space and time in which it sits, and frame-dragging, or the extent that Earth's rotation churns spacetime around with it. By Debjyoti Bardhan on May 5th, 2011. Einstein Passes Strictest Test: NASA's Gravity Probe-B Proves General Theory of Relativity Correct. Special relativity had considered only constantly moving reference .. Of course general relativity is really about semi-Riemannian geometry [though physicists like to refer to it as merely 'Riemannian'], so you would want to also refer to texts like O'Neill's Semi-Riemannian Geometry With Applications to Relativity. NASA has just announced that Einstein's theory of gravity, also known as the General Theory of Relativity, has been verified in two ways by its Gravity Probe-B (GP-B) with astonishing accuracy [1]. A decade after his paper on special relativity, Einstein published his general relativity that addressed accelerated reference frames and provided a new theory of gravity. "General Relativity from A to B" explained to me the meaning of the radar-coordinates (emphasizing operational measurements) and the meaning of the spacetime interval (emphasizing the causal structure). It is the culmination of a five-decade old project. The approach of the Christian apologist is to argue that if B is the big bang, then the only cause, A, available is God, because nothing physical can precede the big bang. The rotation of the Earth affects the movement of spacetime itself. Has finally proved general relativity right, according to NASA. For those unfamiliar with scientific endeavour, the goal is to develop a theory about something.
