Understanding gravity as described by General Relativity was a revolution that allowed us to find and understand new things, among them black holes.»

This effect is described by General Relativity Theory as the gravitational red shift — it is detectable in spectral lines that shift toward the red end of the spectrum.

Those maps will make it crystal clear whether or not what we're dealing with are black holes as described by general relativity.

By 1982 Barbour and Bertotti had come up with a new theory of gravity (pdf) that described the world just as accurately as Einstein's general relativity but without invoking time as a fundamental dimension.

One possibility is that if physicists ever manage to unify quantum theory and general relativity, space and time will be described by some modified version of quantum mechanics.

It's been 100 years since Albert Einstein presented his theory of general relativity, which describes space and time as a unified fabric, curved by the presence of matter and radiation within it.

He thinks that time, as described by Einstein's theory of general relativity, could simply end in our universe, taking us with it.

«We still don't understand exactly how the corona is produced or why it changes its shape, but we see it lighting up material around the black hole, enabling us to study the regions so close in that effects described by Einstein's theory of general relativity become prominent,» said NuSTAR Principal Investigator Fiona Harrison of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena.
