Einstein's
General Theory of Relativity |
|
"The theory's impact upon twentieth-century science and thought can hardly be overstated." (Norman 625). |
|
|
| Einstein's General Theory of Relativity is a continuation and dramatic expansion of some of the ground-breaking ideas set forth in his 1905 paper on special relativity. Specifically, with general relativity, Einstein applied his revolutionary conceptions of time, space, and matter to all of the universe, and providing, for the first time the definitive reinterpretation of the Newtonian model. |
