    Graduate Is our universe the unique possible outcome of the big bang

    is our universe the unique possible outcome of the big bang regardless of the original state? if not, what are the factors that may change the universe as we know it today? what they mean by (WEYL = 0) as the big bang ?

    Undergrad Is General Relativity More Accurate for Planetary Calculations?

    hi tiny-tim well I guess they take that in consideration when they measure the distance between the mirror on the moon and their location on earth.

    Undergrad Is General Relativity More Accurate for Planetary Calculations?

    hi I head that the laser moon mirror experiment showed that the following equation is not so accurate. is there in general relativity a precise equation that links the mass of the moon and the mass of the Earth and the force and the distance between them ? thx

    Graduate Snell's law and General Relativity

    hi I understand that Snell's law describe the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction, when referring to light passing different isotropic media. someone told me that Snell's law describe also the curvature of space time in General Relativity? is that true? if not what are...
