    Découvrez les différences fondamentales entre la relativité générale et restreinte d'Einstein, et comment ces théories révolutionnaires ont transformé notre compréhension de l'univers, du temps et même le fonctionnement de nos technologies quotidiennes.

    Einstein's Cosmic Double Take

    Best quote from Einstein's Cosmic Double Take

    “

    Einstein proposed that gravity is not a force that attracts objects, but rather the curvature of spacetime itself; matter tells spacetime how to curve, and that curvature tells matter how to move.

    ”
