The internet has a wide array of resources to
learn general relativity and keep up with recent research. This
page only attempts to hit some of the highlights, not to be comprehensive.
See Relativity on
the World Wide Web
or some of the other web guides below for further links.
This page is still under construction, sorry for the mess. I will try to
update or remove links as they evolve, so please let me know if a link
- General-Interest Sites
- Einstein --
Image and Impact, AIP
An exhibit on the life and times of Einstein. See also
Albert Einstein Online,
and the Einstein
Listen to Einstein explain his most famous formula.
- Falling Into
a Black Hole, Andrew Hamilton
History of Special Relativity and of
Spacetime Wrinkles, NCSA
- GR Tensor
A symbolic tensor manipulation program. Originally developed for
Maple, a Mathematica version is now available. There is even a
version you can run remotely.
Gravitational Lensing, Peter Newbury
- Beyond Einstein
NASA program to explore the boundaries of relativity.
The official string theory web site. (Look, I just link to them,
I don't come up with the names.)
Usenet discussion groups.
- Research and News Sources
- gr-qc at arxiv.org
The indispensable preprint server, containing essentially all
respectable contemporary research papers. "gr-qc" stands for "general
relativity and quantum cosmology"; look for related servers in
high-energy theory and string theory
- SPIRES High-Energy
Physics Literature Database
A service which not only indexes papers, but keeps track of references and
citations. Nominally devoted to high-energy physics, but gradually expanding
to keep track of gravitation and astrophysics.
Living Reviews in Relativity
Online review articles on all aspects of relativity.
General Relativity News from Malcolm MacCallum at Queen Mary
- Matters of Gravity
A newsletter for the APS Topical Group on Gravitation, edited by
