The Centre of Gravity Project explores the development of general relativity concepts through historical research on key figures like Roger Penrose. By analyzing literary estates and oral histories, it aims to clarify the mathematical techniques that shaped modern physics, including gravitational waves and black holes.
The foundations of the general theory of relativity (GR) were laid by Albert Einstein in 1915.
But much of what has been built on those foundations was developed in the Renaissance Period of GR between 1955 and 1975.
Indeed, without the concepts and tools formed during this Renaissance, the recent observation of gravitational waves, rewarded with the Nobel Prize in physics in 2017, and the convincing prediction of and mounting evidence for the existence of black holes, rewarded with the Nobel Pr…
