Gyros, clocks, interferometers- : testing relativistic gravity in space /

Show other versions (1)

Many new tests of gravity and, in particular, of Einstein's general relativity theory will be carried out in the near future: The Lense--Thirring effect and the equivalence principle will be tested in space; moreover, gravitational waves will be detected, and new atomic interferometers and cloc...
