Talk:General Relativity

Please Read Before Making Any Serious Changes/Overhauls
 * Notes to GR editors
 * Standardizing notation


 * Where to put covariant derivative?


 * Intro to Tensors Section


 * IMPORTANT-Please read!

Hi folks. I think this would be great as a one-stop shop for general relativity info. There are actually a fair number of resources online for GR, but they're scattered and sometimes hard to find. In the textbook I'd like there to be a fairly good solid online/offline bibliography to help folks find those resources.

As for the text itself, I'm still sketching out an outline that might work. There's the obvious stuff, both mathematical - parallel transport, tensors, etc. - and physical - Einstein Cand Ricci tensors, etc. - but how much detail do you think is appropriate? I don't want to go the way of Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler's famous tome, but nor do I want to be as sketchy as many of the online intros are. Suggestions warmly welcomed.

So, here goes: when there is a moon in the rings of Saturn, there is a stripe around the entire ring. That moon is orbiting at a different speed from the moonlets. Thus Einstein's equivalence principle is disproved. Instead of warped space-time causing gravity, gravity causes warped space-time. In the atom, when the electron curves it radiates which causes it to slow down. There is an energy-producing system that replaces the lost energy, and it burns space-time as a fuel. The inflow of space-time is gravity. 50.11.85.51


 * I would oppose any change of this nature. Relativity has stood the test of time, and it will take more than vaguely worded claims of unclear relevance to shake it. Reyk (discuss • contribs) 18:41, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

A generalization of the Einstein-Maxwell equations
