Remarks on General Relativity

Michael Fowler 
University of Virginia

Einstein’s Parable

In Einstein’s little book Relativity: the Special and the General Theory, he introduces general relativity with a parable.  He imagines going into deep space, far away from gravitational fields, where any body moving at steady speed in a straight line will continue in that state for a very long time.  He imagines building a space station out there - in his words, “a spacious chest resembling a ...
