Ever hear of "frame-dragging" or the "Lense-Thirry Effect"? What about Space-Time? The stuff dreams and scifi is made up of?
"Space-time is swirling around a dead star proving Einstein right again about General Relativity". Isn't that exciting? Did Einstein ever get anything wrong?
The concept of space-time boggles my mind. It is an entity in reality.
Because we experience the physical world at comparatively low velocities and under comparatively weak gravitational forces, it is difficult for (most of) us to conceptualize how relativistic effects work.
And, yes, sometimes Einstein got things wrong. He spend much of his later life trying to find an alternative explanation to replace quantum mechanics, which has proven to be just as durable a theory as relativity.
This was one of the earliest works dealing with quantum entanglement, and the authors claimed quantum mechanics could not be an accurate description of reality because it allowed for quantum entanglement, which they believed allowed information to be transmitted at superluminal speeds, which is not allowed by relativity.
