Abstract

Opću teoriju relativnosti, utemeljenu na geometrijskom prikazu gravitacije i formaliziranu tenzorskom jednadžbom polja, postavio je Albert Einstein prije 100 godina. Ova gravitacijska teorija pređvida niz fizikalnih fenomena, kako onih koji donose “sitne” popravke u klasičnoj Newtonovskoj teoriji gravitacije, tako i onih kvalitativno novih. Tijekom proteklog stoljeća izvršen je niz pokusa s kojima su provjeravani osnovni principi i najvažnija predviđanja opće teorije relativnosti, medu kojima su najpoznatiji jednakost inercijalne i trome mase, zakretanje svjetlosnih zraka u blizini masivnih objekata, precesije orbita planeta i žiroskopa u orbiti oko Zemlje te razne vremenske dilatacije. Tim provjerama utvrđeno je veliko slaganje eksperimenta s teorijskim pretpostavkama koje daje opća teorija. U ovom ću diplomskom radu napraviti pregled navedenih fenomena te eksperimenata kojma su oni potvrđeni.

Abstract (english)

General theory of relativity, based on the geometrical view of gravity and formalized by a tensorial field equation, was established by Albert Einstein 100 years ago. This gravitational theory predicts various physical phenomena, from those that give only “small” corrections to the Newtonian theory to those that are qualitatively new. During the last century numerous experiments were done to check basic principles and most important predictions of the general theory such as the equality of inertial and gravitational mass, bending of light in close proximity of massive objects, various precessions (orbital and gyro precessions) and time dilatations. These experiments showed with great precission the validity of the general theory of relativity. In this thesis we will review the before-mentioned phenomena and the experiments by which their validity was proven.
