2. Gravitation (book) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitation_(book)

   The book that educated at least two generations of researchers in gravitational physics. Comprehensive and encyclopedic, the book is written in an often-idiosyncratic way that you will either like or not. Pankaj Sharan writes: [7] This large sized (20cm × 25cm), 1272 page book begins at the very beginning and has everything on gravity (up to ...

3. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_universal...

   This allowed a description of the motions of light and mass that was consistent with all available observations. In general relativity, the gravitational force is a fictitious force resulting from the curvature of spacetime, because the gravitational acceleration of a body in free fall is due to its world line being a geodesic of spacetime.

4. Einstein Gravity in a Nutshell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_Gravity_in_a_Nutshell

   The book is full of notes, a long index, and simply clever exercises. The illustrations are pretty and professional [...] I recommend you once again to try the book". [3] Pedro G. Ferreira, professor at the University of Oxford called it "a remarkably complete and thorough textbook on general relativity, written in a refreshing and engaging ...

5. Robert Wald - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Wald

   In 1977, Wald published a popular-science book titled Space, Time, and Gravity: The Theory of the Big Bang and Black Holes explaining Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, and its implications in cosmology and astrophysics. The book also gives a survey of what was then ongoing research on gravitational collapse and black holes.

6. General Relativity (book) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Relativity_(book)

   Topics that deserve more attention include gravitational radiation and cosmology. However, this book can be supplemented by those by Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler, and by Weinberg. Smolin was teaching a course on general relativity to undergraduates as well as graduate students at Yale University using this book and felt satisfied with the ...

7. List of equations in gravitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

   A common misconception occurs between centre of mass and centre of gravity.They are defined in similar ways but are not exactly the same quantity. Centre of mass is the mathematical description of placing all the mass in the region considered to one position, centre of gravity is a real physical quantity, the point of a body where the gravitational force acts.

   [249] [250] LIGO-VIRGO and Fermi constrain the difference between the speed of gravity and the speed of light in vacuum to 10 −15. [251] This marks the first time electromagnetic and gravitational waves are detected from a single source, [252] [253] and give direct evidence that some (short) gamma-ray bursts are due to colliding neutron stars ...
