Gravity Probe B is the relativity gyroscope experiment being developed by NASA and Stanford University to test two extraordinary, unverified predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.

The experiment will check, very precisely, tiny changes in the direction of spin of four gyroscopes contained in an Earth satellite orbiting at 400-mile altitude directly over the poles. So free are the gyroscopes from disturbance that they will provide an almost perfect space-time reference system. They will measure how space and time are warped by the presence of the Earth, and, more profoundly, how the Earth's rotation drags space-time around with it. These effects, though small for the Earth, have far-reaching implications for the nature of matter and the structure of the Universe.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) a été le physicien le plus important du 20e siècle par les découvertes révolutionnaires qu'il a accomplies entre 1905 et 1925 [1]. Résident aux Etats-Unis de 1933 à 1955, son prestige n'a fait que s'amplifier dans le grand public, non seulement par sa renommée scientifique mais toujours plus par ses prises de position et actions dans le domaine politico-moral. Ici, nous allons considérer (l'évolution de) la position d'Einstein vis-à-vis de l'armement nucléaire des Etats-Unis entre 1939 et 1955.

one of the most ambitious publishing ventures ever undertaken in the documentation of the history of science. Selected from among more than 40,000 documents contained in the personal collection of Albert Einstein (1879-1955), and 15,000 Einstein and Einstein-related documents discovered by the editors since the beginning of the Einstein Project, The Collected Papers will provide the first complete picture of a massive written legacy that ranges from Einstein's first work on the special and general theories of relativity and the origins of quantum theory, to expressions of his profound concern with civil liberties, education, Zionism, pacifism, and disarmament...

Year of Einstein In 1905, Albert Einstein published five scholarly papers that changed the course of modern physics and later established him as the world's leading physicist.
