General Relativity and Experiment *
The confrontation between Einstein’s theory of gravitation and experiment is summarized. Although all current experimental data are compatible with General Relativity, the importance of pursuing the quest for possible deviations from Einstein’s theory is emphasized. ∗To appear in the Proceedings of the XIth International Congress of Mathematical Physics (Paris,July 1994)
متن کاملThe Cavendish Experiment in General Relativity∗
Solutions of Einstein’s equations are discussed in which the “gravitational force” is balanced by an electrical force, and which can serve as models for the Cavendish experiment.
متن کاملThe Confrontation between General Relativity and Experiment
The status of experimental tests of general relativity and of theoretical frameworks for analysing them are reviewed. Einstein's equivalence principle (EEP) is well supported by experiments such as the Eötvös experiment, tests of special relativity, and the gravitational redshift experiment. Future tests of EEP and of the inverse square law will search for new interactions arising from unificat...
متن کاملHigh-precision lattice QCD confronts experiment.
The recently developed Symanzik-improved staggered-quark discretization allows unquenched lattice-QCD simulations with much smaller (and more realistic) quark masses than previously possible. To test this formalism, we compare experiment with a variety of nonperturbative calculations in QCD drawn from a restricted set of "gold-plated" quantities. We find agreement to within statistical and syst...
متن کاملThe Confrontation between General Relativity and Experiment: a 1998 Update
The status of experimental tests of general relativity and of theoretical frameworks for analysing them are reviewed. Einstein’s equivalence principle (EEP) is well supported by experiments such as the Eötvös experiment, tests of special relativity, and the gravitational redshift experiment. Future tests of EEP will search for new interactions arising from unification or quantum gravity. Tests ...
