Conservapedia has also received criticism for its articles regarding the theory of relativity, particularly on their entry titled "Counterexamples to relativity", an article that lists examples purportedly demonstrating that the theory is incorrect.
Spurrier knows the Redskins' victory will be subject to the N.F.L.'s theory of relativity regarding the strength of the opponent.
The linguistic theories of Noam Chomsky regarding the universality of grammar were also widely taken to have discredited linguistic relativity.
Any purely conventional stipulation regarding the behavior of measuring rods as physically constitutive of metrical relations in general relativity is then otiose (Weyl, 1923a; Ehlers, Pirani and Schild 1973).
This was first attempted in his "constructive axiomatization" (1924) of the theory of relativity on the basis of "elementary matters of fact" (Elementartatbestande) regarding the observable behavior of lights rays, and rods and clocks.
But, as noted above, there are both genuine and spurious aspects connected with Einstein's "principle of general relativity", a mixture complicated by Einstein's own puzzling remarks regarding the principle of general covariance.
Thus whether general relativity affirms a Euclidean or a non-euclidean metric in the solar gravitational field rests upon a conventional choice regarding the existence of non-zero universal forces.
Regarding general relativity, historic tests include measuring the perihelion of Mercury [1] and the Pound-Rebka experiment to quantify gravitational redshift [2].
Alston distinguishes two lines of argument regarding absoluteness and relativity, which he sees as the key contrast.
Alston admits that Hartshorne legitimately points out some of the internal contradictions contained in the classical theistic version of creation ex nihilo, but he claims that there is no connection drawn by Hartshorne between divine creation and metaphysical principles regarding relativity, contingency, and potentiality.
Many physicists regard general relativity as a theory of exemplary beauty.
