Einstein / Relativity
Testing General Relativity's Fundamental Assumptions
Then the architect engages in numerous detailed tests to confirm gravity’s action. Why bother? It sounds ludicrous to test such an obvious and essential assumption.
However, scientists continue … more
Where Is the Cosmic Density Fine-Tuning?
This word picture helps to demonstrate a number used to quantify that fine-tuning, namely 1 part in 1060. Compared to the total mass of the observable universe, 1 part in 1060 works out to about a … more
Beginning and End of Cosmology
Study of the brightest galaxies in the universe persuaded astronomers that 99 percent of the matter in the universe was dark. And measurements of the brightest stars convinced astronomers that three … more
Extending the Reach of Cosmic Creation Measures
Continual cosmic expansion under fixed physical laws from an actual beginning of matter, energy, space, and time is the heart and soul of the biblical cosmic creation model. Moreover, the physical … more
Gravitational Lens Measurements Yield New Cosmic Creation Test
For over two thousand years the Bible stood alone as the only text making such claims about the universe. Not until Albert Einstein produced his theory of general relativity in 1916 did scientists … more
Einstein Passes a Probing Test
Few theories have undergone testing as thoroughly as Einstein’s theory of general relativity and come through with such flying colors. But, of course, for a theory that has such far-reaching … more
Laboratory Tests of General Relativity’s Foundations
TNRTB Archive - Retained for reference information
Soon scientists will have the capacity to conduct laboratory tests of the equivalence principle that provides the foundation of general relativity … more
Another Test of General Relativity
TNRTB Archive - Retained for reference information
A team of Japanese scientists has developed a new way to test general relativity, specifically its predictions regarding black holes. General … more
General Relativity Passes Yet Another Test
TNRTB Archive - Retained for reference information
RTB's biblical creation model received a substantial confirmation as general relativity passed with flying colors one of the toughest tests yet … more
New Test of Gravity Waves from Supernovae
TNRTB Archive - Retained for reference information
A team of international astronomers has developed a new model—with implications for RTB’s creation model—to predict the emission … more
Most Detailed Map of Cosmic Background Radiation Confirms Biblical Creation Model
A team of American and Canadian astronomers dramatically strengthened the case for a big bang creation (thoroughly biblical1) when they released the latest map of radiation left over from the cosmic … more
General Relativity Passes Another Test
TNRT Archive - Retained for reference information
RTB’s cosmic creation model has gained additional support as general relativity passed another test. General relativity predicts that as two … more
Speed of Gravity Measured, Scripture Validated
General relativity and the biblical creation model received yet another boost on January 8, 2003, at the 201st meeting of the American Astronomical Society. The boost came from an announcement of the … more
WMAP Offers Spectacular Proof of Creation Events
Preliminary results from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) have stirred great excitement among physicists.1 Radiometers on board the satellite are sending NASA researchers by far the … more
Cosmic Brane Scans
As physicians use scanning devices to view the hidden structures and activities of the brain, astronomers can now use distant supernovae and high-resolution cosmic background radiation maps to scan … more
Missing Solar Neutrinos Found
What makes the Sun shine? Where does Earth’s life-sustaining radiation originate? Astronomers answered these questions in part with the discovery of nuclear fusion, the same process that powers … more
Exotic Life Sites: The Feasibility of Far-Out Habitats
Most questioners are looking for a particular answer. Science fiction novels, The Planetary Society, and countless movies, from E.T. to Contact to Planet of the Apes, suggest that extraterrestrial … more
Black Holes, Singularities, and Wormholes
From a realistic rather than science fiction perspective, the wormhole question is moot. Since black holes are relatively rare, the probability that the singularities of two spatially distant black … more
Aliens From Another World? Getting Here From There
Growing numbers of UFO and ETI cults, some overtly religious, others with the pretense of purely scientific endeavor, preach their own message of salvation for the human race, a message that directly … more
Facing Up to Big Bang Challenges
What danger lurks in associating big bang cosmology with biblical cosmology? Most Christian physicists, astronomers, and other scientists would say, “None.” Many Christian philosophers, … more
