Einstein's Theory To Go Beta Testing

Posted by timothy on from the relawhatnow dept.

pinqkandi writes: "This article over at CNN looks into the relativity of Einstein's theory of relativity (pun intended) as equipment becomes more and more precise. Soon atomic clocks will be placed in the International Space Station to analyze the accuracy of Einstein's theories. One of the lead researchers says that if Einstein's theory is not right, it will only need minor adjustments to account for changes in space-time, due to its deadly accurate precision."

    Hasn't this been proved already? What's wrong with those older proofs? Like the atomic clock in the airplane and GPS satellites?

    You will find no place in the universe where there is zero gravity.

    One of the lead researchers says that if Einstein's theory is not right, it will only need minor adjustments to account for changes in space-time, due to its deadly accurate precision.

    This just in, from a 1903 Einstein press release:

    One of Einstein's lead researchers says that if Newton's theory is not right, it will only need minor adjustments to account for changes in space and possibly time, due to our upcoming theory's deadly accurate precision.
