Of course general relativity is really about semi-Riemannian geometry [though physicists like to refer to it as merely 'Riemannian'], so you would want to also refer to texts like O'Neill's Semi-Riemannian Geometry With Applications to Relativity. If time travel is possible, then it is possible for you to kill your father before you were born. God - Albert Einstein, Black Holes and the Collapse Of Physics As We Know it. If B-theory is true and special and general relativity are true, then time travel is possible. Quantum Mechanics vs General Relativity. €�The space-time around Earth appears to be distorted just as general relativity predicts,” says Stanford University physicist Francis Everitt, principal investigator of the Gravity Probe B mission. "General Relativity from A to B" explained to me the meaning of the radar-coordinates (emphasizing operational measurements) and the meaning of the spacetime interval (emphasizing the causal structure). I always wondered if the indeterminacy at the quantum level leaves room for free will and God that seems to be precluded by deterministic models like general relativity. Gravity Probe B was launched in 2004 to test Einstein's theory of general relativity. B) Principle of original horizontality. For the non-physicists in the crowd, this was the change to gravity that Einstein introduced. Which of the following is NOT true? Finally, we show how Equation 1 relates to the general form of a linear system mentioned above: A is an s-by-s matrix, and x and b are vectors of dimension s. A) Electrons are directly affected by the strong nuclear force. Is considered by most physicists to be well-understood in environments where general relativistic effects are not relevant: http://b.qr.ae/JsJQbl and http://b.qr.ae/JTKqim), but I don't know what you mean when you say that “quantum mechanics does not preclude the existence of genuine free will.
