Albert Einstein's discovery of the gravitational field equations of general relativity and David Hilbert's almost simultaneous derivation of the theory using an elegant variational principle, [B 1]: 170 during a period when the two corresponded frequently, has led to numerous historical analyses of their interaction.
In theories of quantum gravity, the graviton is the hypothetical elementary particle that mediates the force of gravitational interaction. There is no complete quantum field theory of gravitons due to an outstanding mathematical problem with renormalization in general relativity.
Michael Berg said in a review in the Mathematical Association of America, "I must admit that, as its nutshell predecessor, Einstein Gravity in a Nutshell is very appealing to me, and I am certainly won over by Zee’s chatty but on-the-money style". [2]
where the variables refer to Friedmann–Einstein universe, where is defined in the equations, is the speed of light, is the scale factor, is the radius of the universe (measured in light years) and its maximal value, is the mean density of matter, is time and the age of the universe (last line, measured in years), and is the Einstein's gravitational constant.
In physics and general relativity, gravitational redshift (known as Einstein shift in older literature) [1] [2] is the phenomenon that electromagnetic waves or photons travelling out of a gravitational well lose energy. This loss of energy corresponds to a decrease in the wave frequency and increase in the wavelength, known more generally as a ...
This relation between wavelength and energy is calculated with the same formula (the Planck–Einstein relation) that relates electromagnetic wavelength to photon energy. However, photons , which have only energy and no mass, are fundamentally different from massive gravitons in this respect, since the Compton wavelength of the graviton is not ...
Chegg stock has lost nearly 70% over the last year and has been roughly cut in half in 2024. From its peak in 2021, the stock is down over 95%. Since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022 the company ...
The crucial new idea, for Einstein, was the introduction of a tetrad field, i.e., a set {X 1, X 2, X 3, X 4} of four vector fields defined on all of M such that for every p ∈ M the set {X 1 (p), X 2 (p), X 3 (p), X 4 (p)} is a basis of T p M, where T p M denotes the fiber over p of the tangent vector bundle TM.
