What is Einstein-Online about?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Einstein-Online is likely the most comprehensive German website on all aspects of special and general relativity, which was formulated by Albert Einstein a little over 100 years ago. The basics of these theories are laid out in \u201cElementary Einstein\u201d<\/a>. Our \u201cSpotlights\u201d<\/a> explore the sometimes-exotic consequences of relativity and cover current research in this field.<\/p>\n

Who runs this website?<\/h2>\n

Einstein-Online is published by the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics<\/a> (Albert Einstein Institute) in Potsdam and Hanover together with the Haus der Astronomie<\/a>\/ Max Planck Institute for Astronomy<\/a> in Heidelberg. These institutions guarantee the scientific accuracy of our content.<\/p>\n

Is there a printed version of Einstein-Online?<\/h2>\n

No, there is no \u201cEinstein Offline\u201d. However, we have compiled a few book recommendations on this website.<\/a><\/p>\n

Is there an Einstein-Online discussion forum?<\/h2>\n

No, we recommend the forums at www.physicsforums.com<\/a>, especially the section on \u201cSpecial & General Relativity\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Where do I start on this website?<\/h2>\n

Elementary Einstein<\/a> is a step-by-step introduction into special and general relativity as well as other related topics of astrophysics. More detailed information on individual aspects is covered in our Spotlights<\/a>. With each article, we suggest further readings on related topics.<\/p>\n

Do you provide materials for teachers?<\/h2>\n

We do not have dedicated materials for teachers or students. For a basic introduction, we recommend Elementary Einstein<\/a>. The Spotlights<\/a> provide material about current research topics for advanced students.<\/p>\n

Where can I look at a gravitational wave detector?<\/h2>\n

The Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Hanover offers regular visits at the GEO600<\/a> gravitational wave detector site. For a first impression, we also recommend this video<\/a> from the site.<\/p>\n

How can I become an author at Einstein-Online?<\/h2>\n

The editorial board normally invites researchers from renowned institutions to write an article for Einstein-Online. If you are a scientist professionally dealing with relativity theory yourself and you would like to contribute an article, please contact us at kontakt@einstein-online.info<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Can I make suggestions for new topics to be covered by Einstein-Online?<\/h2>\n

Of course. Please send your suggestions to the editorial board at kontakt@einstein-online.info<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do you answer individual questions on the topic?<\/h2>\n

Normally, we do not. Should there be a question to which the answer can\u2019t be found neither on this site nor with an internet search, you can e-mail us.<\/p>\n

I have written a paper on a topic within the realm of Einstein-Online \u2013 can I send it to you for publication?<\/h2>\n

No, we only publish articles on validated, peer-reviewed and published scientific knowledge. Please send your manuscript to a scientific journal with peer review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
