General relativity
General relativity (GR, also known as the general theory of relativity or GTR) is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915 and the current description of gravitation in modern physics. General relativity generalizes special relativity and refines Newton's law of universal gravitation, providing a unified description of gravity as a geometric property of space and time, or spacetime. In particular, the "" is directly related to the energy and momentum of whatever matter and radiation are present. The relation is specified by
Relativity from an elegant variational principle "almost simultaneously" with Einstein's discovery of the theory.
Attackers and defenders General relativity Albrecht Fölsing on the Hilbert-Einstein interaction (1993).
From Fölsing's 1993 (English translation 1998) Einstein biography " Hilbert, like all his other colleagues, acknowledged Einstein as the sole creator of relativity theory."
Attackers and defenders General relativity Cory/Renn/Stachel and Friedwardt Winterberg (1997/2003).
In 1997, Cory, Renn and Stachel published a 3-page article in "Science" entitled
