Challenging Einstein’s Greatest Theory in 16-Year Experiment – Theory of General Relativity...

" The study, published today (December 13, 2021) in the journal Physical Review X, reveals new relativistic effects that, although expected, have now been observed for the first time.

Dr. Robert Ferdman, from UEA’s School of Physics, said: 'As spectacularly successful as Einstein’s theory of general relativity has proven to be, we know that is not the final word in gravitational theory.

'More than 100 years later, scientists around the world continue their efforts to find flaws in his theory.

'General relativity is not compatible with the other fundamental forces, described by quantum mechanics. It is therefore important to continue to place the most stringent tests upon general relativity as possible, to discover how and when the theory breaks down.

'Finding any deviation from general relativity would constitute a major discovery that would open a window on new physics beyond our current theoretical understanding of the Universe.

'And it may help us toward eventually discovering a unified theory of the fundamental forces of nature.”

There is a video as part of the article too, and a link to the newly published research at the end of the article.
