-
The First
Galileo was the first to explicitly enunciate the special principal of relatitivity in his dialog concerning the two chief world systems. -
Henry Cavendish
Henry Cavendish mesasures the force of gravity between two masses, leading to the first accurate value for the gravitational constant. -
Specical Relativity
Einstein published his first article on gravitational effects on light under special relativity. -
Coined
The term Theory of Relativity was coined by Max Plank -
Intro of General
Einstein was actively working to conceive of a general theory of relativity that would explain special relativity, but would also explain gravitation as a geometric phenomenon. -
Priority
Actually, the German mathematician David Hilbert submitted an article containing the correct field equations for general relativity five days before Einstein. Hilbert never claimed priority for this theory. -
Einstein's progress
nearly ten years after the foundation of special relativity, Einstein submitted his paper The Field Equations of Gravitation for publication, which gave the correct field equations for the theory of general relativity (or general relativity for short). -
IT WORKS
Evidence that Relativity works. -
Prizes
Einstein recieves the nobel prize. -
Demonstrations
Albert Einstein, Leopold Infeld, and Banesh Hoffmann show that the geodesic equations of general relativity can be deduced from its field equations. -
Neutrinos
Neutrinos found not to travel faster than light -
Big Bang
Georges Lemaitre Proposes the Big Bang Theory.
