Yeah, and I want to know who put all those stone heads on Easter Island!

Nate, I am very interested in the subject of physics, but I find very few people who I can discuss it with. How about Schrodinger's equation? Laws of quantum behavior seem to contradict classical physics; must classical physics then be discarded? What is your take on this? Thank you C Kahn

clocks moving at relativistic speeds appear to run slow. So do clocks that are accelerating rapidly and, by Einstein's equivalence principle, clocks that are in strong gravitational fields. If the speed of light is the same for all observers, and gravity affects the rates of clocks, then gravity must somehow affect space and the lengths of measuring sticks as well. Wouldn't you agree?

OK, how about mass and the geometry of space-time?

Einstein's general theory of relativity predicts that moving masses emit gravitational radiation waves that propagate for long distances. What is your take on this theory?

the curvature of space-time can become extreme near compact massive objects or when viewed on the scale of the entire universe. In these realms, classical physics fails to explain the phenomena that occur. what is your perspective?
