3Introduction to general relativity — General relativity (GR) is a theory of gravitation that was developed by Albert Einstein between 1907 and 1915. According to general relativity, the observed gravitational attraction between masses results from the warping of space and time by… …
4Kepler problem in general relativity — The Kepler problem in general relativity involves solving for the motion of two spherical bodies interacting with one another by gravitation, as described by the theory of general relativity.Typically, and in this article, one body is assumed to… …

7Alternatives to general relativity — are physical theories that attempt to describe the phenomena of gravitation in competition to Einstein s theory of general relativity.There have been many different attempts at constructing an ideal theory of gravity. These attempts can be split… …
8Vulcan (hypothetical planet) — Vulcan was a small planet proposed to exist in an orbit between Mercury and the Sun in a 19th century hypothesis. This hypothesis has now been rendered obsolete by Albert Einstein s theory of general relativity.Argument for Vulcan s existenceIn… …
9relativity — /rel euh tiv i tee/, n. 1. the state or fact of being relative. 2. Physics. a theory, formulated essentially by Albert Einstein, that all motion must be defined relative to a frame of reference and that space and time are relative, rather than… …
10Retrodiction — (or postdiction , though this should not be confused with the use of the term in criticisms of parapsychological research) is the act of making a prediction about the past. This is especially useful when one wishes to test a theory whose actual… …
