Cambridge Relativity Public Home Page -
Various pages with non-technical texts about cosmology, black holes, cosmic strings, inflation, quantum cosmology, and string theory, written by members of the Relativity Group at Cambridge University. Relativity -
Provides information on the history, experiments and paradoxes of relativity. Interactive Experiments in Gravity -
Try an experiment that illustrates the gravitational attraction between two objects or use a Java applet to understand how orbits work in strongly curved space-time. Introduction to General Relativity -
By Gerard 't Hooft (Utrecht University); based on lectures held in 2002; a thorough introduction starting with accelerated frames and including topics such as black holes, the basics of cosmology, and gravitational radiation. Wikipedia: Introduction to General Relativity -
Encyclopedia article explaining the basic concepts, observational tests and (astrophysical) applications of general relativity. An Essay on General Relativity -
Overview of the basic ideas and principal applications of general relativity. Written by John L. Safko for students in the self-paced astronomy courses at the University of South Carolina in 1997. Gravitational Waves and Black Holes: An Introduction to General Relativity -
An introduction by Jan-Willem van Holten (NIKHEF, Amsterdam), based on lectures given at the University of Heidelberg in 1997. <small>(April 15, 1997)</small> Physics Bookshelf - Relativity -
A collection of articles about relativity Are There Any Good Books on Relativity Theory? -
The Physics FAQ's guide to relativity books; by Chris Hillman (with contributions by Nathan Urban). An extensive annotated list of semi-popular books, textbooks and background reading. Relativity, Space and Time -
Science popularization article on the Theory of Relativity. Interactive Geometric Database -
Interactive database developed by Mustapha Ishak and Kayll Lake and hosted by Queen's University; allows the user to search for specific solutions of Einstein's field equations (that is, for specific model universes of general relativity). Numerical Relativity: Status and Prospects -
Review article by Luis Lehner about the foundations of numerical relativity and recent progress in the field; particular attention is paid to simulations of black hole spacetimes. <small>(February 19, 2002)</small> Wikipedia: General Relativity Resources -
Annotated list of reading material about general relativity: popular books, textbooks, books on specific topics, web courses, and websites. Einstein Online -
Information about Einstein's theories of special and general relativity and their applications; site is hosted by the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics. Includes a simple introduction, a collection of articles ("Spotlights on relativity"), and a relativistic dictionary. General Relativity Simulation Contest -
Attempt at a content aimed at the Internet community to write a simulation program, based on a simple algorithm incorporating the laws of general relativity, that can realistically simulate the behavior of black holes, binary stars, and the twin paradox. <small>(December 28, 2005)</small> Subtle is the Gravity -
Review of the motivations for and basic principles of general relativity, aimed at a general audience. Written by Naresh Dadhich (IUCAA Pune), based on a lecture delivered in 2001. <small>(February 3, 2001)</small> Relativity: Special, General, and Cosmological -
Sample chapters from the classical textbook by Wolfgang Rindler, as part of a "limited preview" on Google Books. Spacetime - General Relativity, Quantum Gravity, and the Existence of Time -
A brief summary of Spacetime Theories at the beginning of the Third Millennium, and of the possibility that we live in an essentially atemporal universe. Beyond Einstein -
Description of NASA's Beyond Einstein missions set to explore various consequences of general relativity - and possibly, as the name indicate, go beyond what Einstein's theory predicts. Includes educational resources. The Light Cone: An Illuminating Introduction to Relativity -
Introduces the basic principles of relativity, the physics of special relativity, and some basic principles of general relativity. Contains a great number of helpful images and animations; site created by Rob Salgado (Syracuse University). Relativity bookmarks -
Large collection of relativity-related links by Rob Salgado (Syracuse University). Warning: page hasn't been updated since 2000, and quite a number of links are now broken. QMW Hyperspace -
A set of hypertext based services for general relativity research provided by the QMW Relativity group. Selected References in Relativistic Cosmology and General Relativity -
Extensive list of classic and modern research papers in cosmology and general relativity. Although the author warns that his selection is subjective, the result is a highly useful list of references; for many papers, there are links to online versions on the arXiv.org e-print server. By Henk van Elst (Queen Mary, University of London). Relativity: List of Important Equations -
Page scans from the Handbook of Space Astronomy and Astrophysics giving equations and formulas for special relativity and relativistic cosmology. Includes bibliography. NOVA Online/Einstein Revealed -
Profile of Albert Einstein, with additional teaching resources, Shockwave demonstrations, and animations of relativity concepts.
