Sentences with phrase «with general relativity»

But the new map, which spans very large scales yet is consistent with general relativity, lets the air out of those theories.

The accuracy achieved was 20 parts per million, 50 times better than even the Viking results, and — wouldn't you know it — right in line with general relativity.

They see black holes as an opportunity to answer one of the biggest questions in particle physics theory: Why can't we square quantum mechanics with general relativity?

No one has yet succeeded in using the Wheeler - DeWitt equation to integrate quantum theory with general relativity.

Should LIGO or the pulsar timing arrays not detect anything, that wouldn't necessarily mean there's something wrong with general relativity, Hendry says.

A decade later with general relativity, he found that gravity actually distorts space and time.

Ye is most excited about the future possibility of using the atoms in the clock as a gravity sensor, to see how quantum mechanics, which operates on very small spatial scales, interacts with general relativity, the theory of gravity, a macroscopic force.

In truth, though, for most of the sources that LIGO will see, our measurements should be perfectly consistent with the general relativity description.

Physicists may be able to do what Einstein never could if they find out where, if ever, nature begins to disagree with general relativity.

Einstein's main problem with General Relativity is that it was loaded with presuppositions.

Hawking radiation, the result of attempts to combine quantum theory with general relativity, comprises these escaping particles, but physicists have yet to detect it being emitted from an astrophysical black hole.

If these results, expected soon, do not agree with the measurements of the expansion history of space — the measurements made by methods used by JDEM — it would indicate that something is wrong with general relativity.

Along with Sergei M. Sibiryakov, also at EPFL, and Oriol Pujolas of CERN near Geneva, Blas has reformulated Hoava gravity to bring it back into line with general relativity.

For years Hawking has argued that a better theory — one that physicists have been seeking ever since Einstein's heyday — would one day inevitably combine quantum mechanics with general relativity.

The predictions of quantum mechanics are still under scrutiny because the theory might need tweaking to unite it with general relativity.

Yet she had published some important papers, and Hilbert felt that her expertise could help clear up the problem with general relativity.

With general relativity, Einstein completed a program begun in ancient Greece to determine the scope of natural law and thereby define the relationship between us and the universe.

These models show that a Big Bang is consistent with general relativity and with the cosmological principle, which states that the properties of the universe should be independent of position or orientation.

Mandl, who had familiarized himself with general relativity, also knew a lot about optics, and he saw in the gravitational light bending a similarity to lenses.

With general relativity an initial singularity was inevitable.

Our findings rely on a mathematical conjecture which permits the differential expansion of space, consistent with general relativity, and they show how the formation of complex structures of matter affects the expansion.

String theory has emerged as the most promising approach to unifying quantum mechanics — the laws governing very, very small things such as atoms, nuclei and quarks — with general relativity, which describes the world on a scale as large as that of stars and galaxies.

Physicists have been trying for decades to marry quantum theory with general relativity — Einstein's theory of gravity.
