General relativity from A to B Robert Geroch

€�The space-time around Earth appears to be distorted just as general relativity predicts,” says Stanford University physicist Francis Everitt, principal investigator of the Gravity Probe B mission. The answer is Plasma Cosmology. The GP-B satellite was launched in April 2004 and collected a year's worth of data to determine if predictions of Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity are correct. The recent discovery of CERN ( even though the results question Special Relativity) may give enough scientists cover to question the standard model (which cannot reconcile General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics). Then devise a means to test that theory by designing an. Despite this setback, in 2007 the Gravity Probe B team confirmed one prediction of general relativity. A gravity probe whose origins date to the era before human spaceflight has finally proved general relativity right, according to NASA. The rotation of the Earth affects the movement of spacetime itself. It was actually clever writing that he ended up using the knife for the tracheotomy, because it meant he had to ditch the knife and lose his Plan B, raising the stakes in the drama. 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. Gravity Probe B Proves General Relativity Still Valid. According to Einstein, the Earth's gravity warps spacetime like a bowling ball on a trampoline. For those unfamiliar with scientific endeavour, the goal is to develop a theory about something. Common sense, but for distant events occurring close enough in time to be in each other's absolute elsewhere, event A can occur before event B in one reference frame, but after B in another frame, and simultaneously with B in yet another frame. Has finally proved general relativity right, according to NASA. Also, special relativity considers space-time to be a passive arena for events, but general relativity requires spacetime to be dynamic in the sense that changes in matter-energy can change the curvature of space-time itself.
