Buch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - A very attractive feature of the theory of general relativity is that it is a perfectexampleofa'falsi able'theory:notunableparameterispresentinthe theory and therefore even a single experiment incompatible with a prediction of the theory would immediately lead to its inevitable rejection, at least in the physical regime of application of the aforementioned experiment. This fact provides additional scienti c value to one of the boldest and most fascinating achievements of the human intellect ever, and motivates a wealth of e orts in designing and implementing tests aimed at the falsi cation of the theory. The rst historical test on the theory has been the de ection of light gr- ing the solar surface (Eddington 1919): the compatibility of the theory with this rst experiment together with its ability to explain the magnitude of the perihelion advance of Mercury contributed strongly to boost acceptance and worldwideknowledge.However,technologicallimitations preventedphysicists from setting up more constraining tests for several decades after the formu- tion of the theory. In fact, a relevant problem with experimental general r- ativity is that the predicted deviations from the Newtonian theory of gravity areverysmallwhentheexperimentsarecarriedoutinterrestriallaboratories.…
