What is general relativity?
General relativity is a set of physical and geometric principles, which lead to a set of (Einstein) field equations that determine the gravitational field and to the geodesic equations that describe light propagation and the motion of particles on the background. But open questions remain, including: what is the scale on which matter and geometry are dynamically coupled in the Einstein equation...
متن کامل0 What is general relativity silent on ?
Gravitational field in general relativity is a manifestation of spacetime curvature and (unlike the electromagnetic field) is not a force field. A body falling toward the Earth is represented by a geodesic worldline which means that no force is acting on it. If a body is on the Earth’s surface, however, its worldline is no longer geodesic and it is subjected to a force. The nature of that force...
متن کاملWhat Is Categorical Relativity?
The categorical relativity is a groupoid category of massive bodies in mutual motions. The relative velocity is defined to be the basis-free and coordinate-free binary morphism. In categorical relativity there is no need to distinguish separately the constant relative velocities (special relativity) from the variable accelerated velocities, hence the categorical relativity goes beyond boundary ...
متن کاملRelativity Theory: what is Reality?∗
In classical Newtonian physics there was a clear understanding of ’what reality is’. Indeed in this classical view, reality at a certain time is the collection of all what is actual at this time, and this is contained in ’the present’. Often it is stated that three dimensional space and one dimensional time have been substituted by four dimensional space-time in relativity theory, and as a cons...
متن کاملIs General Relativity 'essentially Understood' ? *
The content of Einstein's theory of gravitation is encoded in the properties of the solutions to his field equations. There has been obtained a wealth of information about these solutions in the ninety years the theory has been around. It led to the prediction and the observation of physical phenomena which confirm the important role of general relativity in physics. The understanding of the do...
