A Test Bed for the General Theory of Relativity
In a comparatively weak gravitational field by cosmic standards – for example, on our Earth or elsewhere in our solar system – the predictions of Newton's theory of gravity and those of general relativity differ very little. Physicists are taking ...
Step by step from Newton to Einstein
On Earth and generally everywhere in our solar system, the gravitational field is, for cosmic terms, weak. Thanks to that circumstance, the gravitational field and as a consequence also the motion of the celestial bodies of the solar system can be described ...
