How has the most celebrated scientific theory of our century held up under today's exacting scrutiny of planetary probes, radio astronomy, atomic clocks and electronic super-computers? This study explores how Einstein's theory of relativity remains relevant.
How has the most celebrated scientific theory of our century held up under today's exacting scrutiny of planetary probes, radio astronomy, atomic clocks, and electronic super-computers? After eighty years, was Einstein right? Einstein's theory has proven crucial to our understanding of such recently discovered features of the cosmos as pulsars, quasars, black holes, and gravitational lenses. Clifford Will has written a lively and lucid chronicle of the triumph of one of the towering intellectual achievements of our century. This book is intended for general; students on courses in modern physics or relativity.
