About General Relativity
Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, published in 1915, revolutionized our understanding of gravitational forces. It describes gravity not as a force but as a curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. 🌌
Key Concepts 🧠
- Spacetime: The four-dimensional fabric of the universe, combining the three spatial dimensions with time as the fourth dimension.
- Gravitational Waves: Ripples in spacetime caused by cataclysmic events like colliding black holes.
- Black Holes: Regions of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from them.
- Equivalence Principle: A key postulate stating that the effects of gravity are indistinguishable from the effects of acceleration.
