Einstein's Apple and Relativity's Gravitational Field

Engelbert L. Schucking

The foundations of Einstein's first (1907) principle of equivalence are explored and their consequences are stated in terms of invariance under generalized Lorentz transformations,…

Gravitation Is Torsion

Engelbert L. Schucking

The mantra about gravitation as curvature is a misnomer. The curvature tensor for a standard of rest does not describe acceleration in a gravitational field but the \underline{grad…

Einstein's Apple: His First Principle of Equivalence

Engelbert L. Schucking, Eugene J. Surowitz

After a historical discussion of Einstein's 1907 principle of equivalence, a homogeneous gravitational field in Minkowski spacetime is constructed. It is pointed out that the refer…

The Higgs Mass in the Substandard Theory

E. L. Schucking

The Substandard theory deals with the standard model of leptons, electro-weak gauge bosons and Higgs, excluding the chromodynamics of quarks. The theory gives a geometric and algeb…

Redshifts and Killing Vectors

Alex Harvey, Engelbert L. Schucking, Eugene J. Surowitz

Courses in introductory special and general relativity have increasingly become part of the curriculum for upper-level undergraduate physics majors and master's degree candidates.…

Active Mass Under Pressure

Juergen Ehlers, Istvan Ozsvath, Engelbert Schucking

After a historical introduction to Poisson's equation for Newtonian gravity, its analog for static gravitational fields in Einstein's theory is reviewed. It appears that the pressu…
