By Dr Roger Highfield Governing the universe on the largest scales, general relativitystands with quantum mechanics, which reigns on the smallest scales, as a foundation stone of modern physics and will be celebrated over the next few weeks by events worldwide. Albert Einstein first presented his complete general theory of relativity to the Prussia...
By Dr Harry Cliff A century after its birth, general relativity is still science’s ultimate tool for understanding the cosmos. It underpins our modern cosmological theories, allowing scientists to study the birth, evolution and ultimate fate of the universe. It describes the most extreme objects in nature, from the supermassive black holes that lur...
By Paul Franklin, co-funder of Double negative The plot of Interstellar, Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi epic, spins around Gargantua a super-massive black hole, simulated in unprecedented detailfor the film. Black holes had long been the subject of speculation among astronomers going back to the 18th century – a region of space from which nothing, not ...
A theory of biological relativity: no privileged level of causation. Denis Noble. Published: 09 November 2011 https://doi.org/10.1098/rsfs.2011.0067. Abstract. Must higher level biological processes always be derivable from lower level data and mechanisms, as assumed by the idea that an organism is completely defined by its genome?

May 2, 2019 · While 100 years ago experimental tests of general relativity focused mostly on the Sun, in recent years we have seen a clear trend emerging towards the study of neutron stars and black holes ...
Mar 6, 2015 · The theory of general relativity (including Λ) provides a singular prescription for describing classical gravity per se and nongravitational physics in this environment. There seems to be no need for baroque variations and empirical corrections over its domain of applicability.

In 1905 Einstein discovered the special theory of relativity, establishing the famous dictum that nothing—no object or signal—can travel faster than the speed of...
Feb 17, 2017 · This article deals with the concepts “renaissance” and “low water mark between 1925 and 1955” of general relativity suggested in the literature. By empirical data, it is shown that no such period did exist. Research on general relativity continued continuously since the 1920s interrupted only by the second world war. On a broad scale, research on general relativity started only after 1945.

Oct 8, 2015 · Our brief analysis of biological function in the everyday practice of biology revealed that all applications are context dependent and that the relevant context includes both theoretical assumptions and a specific type of measurement procedure.
