A good reason to know of Chris Hillman is that he maintains the Relativity Tutorial/FAQ resource at John Baez website
http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/RelWWW/

(which we all probably should visit and use more )

Hillman's resource is called "Relativity on the World-wide Web"

An excellent source of information on general relativity. His post in the Relativity Forum provides an overview of the Gravity Probe B mission, which was a successful test of Einstein's predictions about the effects of gravity on space-time. It's definitely worth a read!
