Note Added 05 May 2011: A new story on the BBC website, Gravity Probe B confirms Einstein effects, further discusses the work of Gravity Probe B in demonstrating the frame-dragging effect of general relativity. Introduction to Relativity: For Physicists and Astronomers by John B. 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. 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. Special relativity had considered only constantly moving reference .. Then devise a means to test that theory by designing an. For those unfamiliar with scientific endeavour, the goal is to develop a theory about something. If time travel is possible, then it is possible for you to kill your father before you were born. For Special Relativity, Geometry and algebra background would suffice, but for General Relativity, one needs to have a solid background in some basic partial differential equations, basic differential geometry, tensor calculus, and so on. The present status of the quasi-local mass, energy-momentum and angular-momentum constructions in general relativity is reviewed. I am also planning to list books on Gravity, Space, Time, Black Holes, Astrophysics and Relativity, The Special and the General Theory by Albert Einsein. 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. If B-theory is true and special and general relativity are true, then time travel is possible.
