12 sie 2004 · The space-time metric tensor not only encodes for spatiotemporal structure, but also represents the gravitational potentials, and thus gravitational energy. By Einstein's famous equation for the equivalence of energy and mass, it follows that the gravitational field possesses mass.

23 lut 2017 · Gravity: A Very Short Introduction looks at the development of our understanding of gravity since the early observations of Kepler, Newtonian theory, and Einstein’s theory of gravity. It also discusses the recent detection of waves of gravitational radiation that were predicted by Einstein.
26 wrz 2017 · General relativity introduced a new way of representing gravity: rather than describing gravity as a force deflecting bodies from inertial motion, bodies free from non-gravitational forces move along the analog of straight lines, called geodesics, through a curved spacetime geometry.
12 maj 2020 · Philosophy of physics examines such concepts as the nature of space, time and causality, the reality of electric, magnetic and gravitational fields in relation to action-at-a-distance, and the ontological status of mass (Lange 2012).
2 wrz 2014 · Also, the often dominant influence of gravity sets astrophysical processes apart from terrestrial laboratory settings. While applying physical methods to cosmic phenomena, astronomers have to deal with the fact that it is impossible to interact directly with the objects of astrophysical interest.
31 paź 2023 · We present a dialog between a philosopher and a theoretical physicist on some aspects of the historical and conceptual foundations of gravitational theories, in particular the equivalence principle, the relation between gravity/geometry, the ontological nature of space–time, and some relevant aspects of the historical development of the ...
Gravitational waves are a new branch of astronomy, providing a complementary way to study astrophysical systems to the standard light-based observations. Researchers use GR to provide “templates” of many possible gravitational wave signals, which is how they identify the source and its properties.
