| | ScienceDaily: Putting Relativity To The Test, NASA's Gravity Probe B Experiment Is One Step Away From Revealing If ... |
 | | With general relativity, Einstein forever changed our Newtonian view of gravity as a force, postulating rather that space and time are inextricably woven into a four-dimensional fabric called spacetime, and that gravity is simply the warping and twisting of the fabric of spacetime by massive celestial bodies. |
 | | The reason is, as Caltech physicist Kip Thorne once put it: "In the realm of fl holes and the universe, the language of general relativity is spoken, and it is spoken loudly. |
 | | NASA Gravity Probe B Mission Enters Science Phase, Ready To Test Einstein's Theory (September 9, 2004) -- Gravity Probe B, a NASA spacecraft to test two predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, achieved a major milestone last week with the completion of the first phase of its... |
