Does this help you understand GR?

Post by Philosophy Explorer »

I already know who's going to disagree. Disagreement is part of philosophy. What I like about this article is it offers much information in a nontechnical way and gives you a sense on what was going on during the formative years of GR:

This article also talks about GR and what I like about it is it also talks about SR in a nontechnical way;

A very well written article explaining what general relativity is and how Einstein came
to formulate it well as its implications with regard to black holes and satellite systems
This proves that a complex physical law can be understood in a non mathematical way
I learned some facts I was previously unaware of so a good link you have provided here
