Are There Pictorial Examples of Covariant and Contravariant Vectors
We present pictorial means of distinguishing contravariant vectors (or simply vectors) from covariant vectors (or linear forms). |
Derivation of gravitational waves in Einstein, Brans-Dicke and Rosen theories of gravity.
Mathematical derivation of gravitational waves to quadrupole order in the Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor and Rosen bi-metric theories of gravity. |
Dulkyn: Scientific Center for Gravitational-Wave Research
Research includes detection of periodic gravitational radiation from relativistic astrophysical objects, investigation of infra-low-frequency variations of Terrestrial gravity field in the role of crystal growing and compound formation, and investigation |
Experimental Gravitational Physics Using Drag-Free Satellites
Covers current and past projects in experimental gravitational physics using Drag-Free Satellites including the Relativity Gyro, Equivalence Principle, and LISA. |
General Relativity Simulation Contest
The purpose of this Contest is to prove General Relativity using a (simple) algorithm. |
Gravitational Lensing
A popular site with interactive demonstrations of gravitational lensing. The background material is at a graduate level |
Gravitational Waves: An Introduction
This paper presents an elementary introduction to the theory of gravitational waves. This article is meant for students who have had an exposure to general relativity, but results from general relativity have been derived in the appendices. |
Gravity of Gravity
An experiment at the University of Washington seeks to determine whether the gravitational binding energy of an object generates gravity of its own. |
Gravity Probe B
Gravity Probe B is the relativity gyroscope experiment being developed by NASA and Stanford University to test two extraordinary, unverified predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. |
Handbook of Space Astronomy and Astrophysics - Relativity
A collection of equations important to both special relativity and general relativity. |
Hyperspace at the University of British Columbia
Includes links to online journals, news and preprint archives, as well as lists of faculty at this university. |
Interactive Experiments in Gravity
Try an experiment that illustrates the gravitational attraction between two objects or use a Java applet to understand how orbits work in strongly curved space-time. |
Lecture Notes on General Relativity
Sean M. Carroll's lecture notes from a one-semester graduate-level course he taught at MIT in 1996. Notes are in postscript format. |
