Novikov Categories: gr-qc Comments: 13 pages At the 20-th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics there was a plenary talk devoted to the recent developments in classical Relativity. In that talk the problems of gravitational collapse, collisions of black holes, and of black holes as celestial bodies were discussed. But probably the problems of the internal structure of black holes are a real great challenge. In my talk I want to outline the recent achievements in our understanding of the nature of the singularity (and beyond!) inside a realistic rotating black hole. This presentation also addresses the following questions: Can we see what happens inside a black hole? Can a falling observer cross the singularity without being crushed? An answer to these questions is probably "yes". Full-text: PostScript PDF , or Other formats References and citations for this submission: SLAC-SPIRES HEP (refers to , cited

Friedrich Riemann married Charlotte Ebell when he was in his middle age. Bernhard was the second of their six children, two boys and four girls. Friedrich Riemann acted as teacher to his children and he taught Bernhard until he was ten years old. At this time a teacher from a local school named Schulz assisted in Bernhard's education. In 1840 Bernhard entered directly into the third class at the Lyceum in Hannover. While at the Lyceum he lived with his grandmother but, in 1842, his grandmother died and Bernhard moved to the Johanneum Gymnasium Legendre 's book on the theory of numbers and Bernhard read the 900 page book in six days. Gauss Gauss did lecture to Riemann but he was only giving elementary courses and there is no evidence that at this time he recognised Riemann's genius. Stern, however, certainly did realise that he had a remarkable student and later described Riemann at this time saying that he:-

He worked at the Cape Observatory in South Africa (1897-99) then, in 1908, de Sitter was appointed to the chair of astronomy at Leiden. From 1919 he was director of the Leiden Observatory. In 1913 de Sitter produced an argument based on observations of double star systems which proved that the velocity of light was independent of the velocity of the source. It put to rest attempts which had been made up until this time to find emission theories of light which depended on the velocity of the source but were not in conflict with experimental evidence. De Sitter corresponded with Ehrenfest in 1916, and he proposed that a four- dimensional space- time would fit in with cosmological models based on general relativity. He published a series of papers (1916-17) on the astronomical consequences of Einstein 's general theory of relativity. He found solutions to

Rotating Universes and Time Traveling by Egils Sviestins e-mail: egils@ettnet.se August 1996 Keywords Index Introduction What's a Rotating Universe? Mach's Principle Einstein's General Relativity ... References Introduction A title like 'Rotating Universes and Time Traveling' is certainly enough for some people to consider me a mad scientist or an incurable geek. Maybe they are right, I don't know. In any case, my Ph.D. thesis [1] deals with these subjects, particularly the rotation part. I believe there are some people on the Net who may be interested in this stuff. That's why I decided to write this article, largely based on my thesis, and put it online. I should mention that I left the research in 1984, and there may be some development in this area that I'm not aware of. I would be grateful if some reader could notify me in that case. The article begins with explaining what is meant by a rotating universe. Experience has shown that this is a very difficult concept. But as it is, Einstein's General Relativity theory does allow for rotating universes: There are such explicit mathematical solutions. Some of the rotating universes also turn out to have the shocking property that they allow (in theory) for traveling backwards in time, although the connection with rotation is not clear. What's a Rotating Universe?

151. General Relativity: Einstein: Physics An explanation YOU can understand of Einstein s general Theory of relativity. http://www.ncsu.edu/felder-public/kenny/papers/gr1.html

Bumps and Wiggles: An Introduction to General Relativity by Gary Felder This paper is a brief introduction to the ideas of Einstein's general theory of relativity, one of the cornerstones of modern physics. The development of general relativity brought about a radical change in our concepts of space and time. This paper is not a course in general relativity, but after reading it you should have at least some understanding of what the theory says, and in particular how space and time are viewed in this context. The paper is almost entirely non-mathematical, but I do assume that you are already comfortable with some Newtonian physics and at least the basic ideas of special relativity. For the latter you could start with my brother's paper: " The Day the Universe Went All Funny For readers with a stronger background in physics there is also a sequel paper (still in preparation), which goes into somewhat more detail about how the laws of general relativity are formulated. That paper assumes a working knowledge of calculus and introductory physics such as you would get in the first year or so of a university physics major. Introduction: What General Relativity is About General relativity (GR) can be viewed in a number of different ways. I will start by briefly describing two of these viewpoints and how they relate to each other.

152. Time Travel - Fact Or Fiction? The science fiction paradigm, conservation laws, general relativity, paradoxes, tachyons and graphs. http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/GR/time_travel.html

[Physics FAQ] Updated 1994; Original by Jon J. Thaler. Time Travel - Fact or Fiction? We define time travel to mean departure from a certain place and time followed (from the traveller's point of view) by arrival at the same place at an earlier (from the sedentary observer's point of view) time. Time travel paradoxes arise from the fact that departure occurs after arrival according to one observer and before arrival according to another. In the terminology of special relativity time travel implies that the timelike ordering of events is not invariant. This violates our intuitive notions of causality. However, intuition is not an infallible guide, so we must be careful. Is time travel really impossible, or is it merely another phenomenon where "impossible" means "nature is weirder than we think?" The answer is more interesting than you might think. The Science Fiction Paradigm The B-movie image of the intrepid chrononaut climbing into his time machine and watching the clock outside spin backwards while those outside the time machine watch the him revert to callow youth is, according to current theory, impossible. In current theory, the arrow of time flows in only one direction at any particular place. If this were not true, then one could not impose a 4-dimensional co-ordinate system on space-time, and many nasty consequences would result. Nevertheless, there is a scenario which is not ruled out by present knowledge. This usually requires an unusual spacetime topology (due to wormholes or strings in general relativity) which has not yet seen, but which may be possible. In this scenario the universe is well behaved in every local region; only by exploring the global properties does one discover time travel.

What does general and special relativity prove? Discuss Relativity Here, Free! - Relativity SR has two postulates: -The laws of the universe are the same regardless of your intertial frame of reference. -The speed of light is constant. GR is Einstein's gravity, modeling gravity as a curvature of space-time. The implications of both are pretty broad. Discuss Relativity Here, Free! pervect - Relativity Can anyone give me a quick overview of relativity, general relativity and special relativity? What does general and special relativity prove? Special relativity can be understood as the invariance of the Lorentz interval for all observers. Special relativity suggests that as the only quantity that is invariant for all observers, the Lorentz interval deserves further study. In special relativity, distance/space, is not invariant, differently moving observers measure objects as having different lengths. Time is also not an invariant quantity, clocks moving along different paths will not agree when they meet up. Only the Lorentz interval is invariant. General relativity probes the geometry of the Lorentz interval, and finds that it is not Euclidian. Space-time is a non-Euclidian manifold, it can be regarded as being "curved", much as the surface of the Earth.

General Theory of Relativity relativity (rèl´e-tîv¹î-tê), physical theory, introduced by Albert Einstein , that discards the concept of absolute motion and instead treats only relative motion between two systems or frames of reference. Space and time are no longer viewed as separate, independent entities but rather as forming a four-dimensional continuum called space-time Einstein's general theory of relativity is principally concerned with the large-scale effects of gravitation , unlike the special theory which is mainly applicable in small-scale systems and quantum mechanics. The general theory recognizes the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass , and asserts that material bodies produce the curvature of the space-time continuum and that the path of a body is determined by this curvature. The theory predicts that a ray of light is deflected by a gravitational field; observations of starlight passing near the sun, first made by Arthur Eddington and colleagues during a 1919 eclipse of the sun, confirmed this. The theory also predicts a red shift of spectral lines of substances in a gravitational field, a result confirmed by observation of light from white dwarf stars. Finally, the theory also accounts for the entire observed perihelion motion of the planet Mercury, only part of which could be explained by Newtonian celestial mechanics. Reconciling the theory with quantum mechanics in a unified field theory has proven difficult. Superstring theory may be able to link quantum gravitation (the study of quantum fields in a curved space-time) with the other quantum theories.
