    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annus_Mirabilis_papers

    The Einsteinhaus on the Kramgasse in Bern, Einstein's residence at the time. Most of the papers were written in his apartment on the first floor above the street level. At the time the papers were written, Einstein did not have easy access to a complete set of scientific reference materials, although he did regularly read and contribute reviews to Annalen der Physik.

    General relativity. [140] Fourth of Einstein's four papers in November 1915. This is the defining paper of general relativity. At long last, Einstein had found workable field equations, which served as the basis for subsequent derivations. Schilpp 88; CP 6, 14: 1916: Experimental proof of the existence of Ampère's molecular currents

    The original 1920 English publication of the paper. Relativity: The Special and the General Theory (German: Über die spezielle und die allgemeine Relativitätstheorie) began as a short paper and was eventually published as a book written by Albert Einstein with the aim of explaining the theory of relativity.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_relativity

    General relativity has emerged as a highly successful model of gravitation and cosmology, which has so far passed many unambiguous observational and experimental tests. However, there are strong indications that the theory is incomplete. [210] The problem of quantum gravity and the question of the reality of spacetime singularities remain open ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADM_formalism

    The Arnowitt–Deser–Misner (ADM) formalism (named for its authors Richard Arnowitt, Stanley Deser and Charles W. Misner) is a Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity that plays an important role in canonical quantum gravity and numerical relativity. It was first published in 1959. [2]

  8. Theory of relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity

    General relativity is a theory of gravitation developed by Einstein in the years 1907–1915. The development of general relativity began with the equivalence principle , under which the states of accelerated motion and being at rest in a gravitational field (for example, when standing on the surface of the Earth) are physically identical.

  9. Introduction to general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_general...

    These three experiments justified adopting general relativity over Newton's theory and, incidentally, over a number of alternatives to general relativity that had been proposed. Further tests of general relativity include precision measurements of the Shapiro effect or gravitational time delay for light, measured in 2002 by the Cassini space probe.
