Is Einstein's Theory of General Relativity right or wrong? We have proven that Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity is right. But why somebody is suspicious in the case of the Theory of General Relativity? The Theory of General Relativity is made for fixing errors in the Theory of Special Relativity that doesn't mention the behavior of the objects in the curving spacetime. Those errors were noticed when observations of the trajectory of the planet Mercury have not to match with theoretical calculations.
Albert Einstein introduced his Theory of Special Relativity in 1905. And the Theory of General Relativity was introduced in 1916 during WWI. The First World War was the worst moment to publish scientific papers. And after the war, the winners were jealous of those kinds of things. So we must remember that Einstein made his work in Germany. And the war covered that work that is called the most beautiful formula in the world E=Mc^2:
E=Mc^2 is
E=Energy
M= Mass
c= Speed of light
This was the short history of those very interesting theories that are the cornerstone of the modern way to think about the cosmos.
But the thing that makes the Theory of General Relativity so interesting is that is not working with quantum mechanics or quantum physics. The quantum theory is compatible with the Theory of Special Relativity but not with the Theory of General Relativity. And that causes thoughts is there the missing piece between the quantum theory and the Theory of General Relativity.
The problem with both theories of relativity and quantum theory is that they are meant for different scales. The theory of Special Relativity is handling the cases of the straight universe. And Theory of General Relativity handles the things that happen in the curving spacetime. So what makes those theories problematic? Maybe we are thinking the wrong way. Maybe there is an error that Einstein didn't notice. The thing is that we always try to make the models.
Or is that error on the side of quantum theory. Does that theory notice the oscillation and vibration of the quantum particles? And if we are thinking that the quantum particles are not ever stable we might think that the quantum theory just doesn't notice that the place of the particles is changing all the time. And do those theories notice the wave-particle duality?
That means the particles in the universe are not smooth. They are wrinkled or full of the protuberance. But when we are thinking about curving spacetime we must ask is there a limit for curving that is necessary when the Theory of General Relativity can connect with quantum theory. Or is there something missing between quantum theory and the Theory of General relativity?
And in that case, we are using the most extreme cases in the universe. The fact is that spacetime is curving around all gravitational objects. But is it curving enough that the Theory of General Relativity can work with those reactions? If we are thinking that the gravitation causes the pothole in the spacetime, how deep that pothole should be that the Theory of General Relativity is turning dominant?
Black holes are the most extreme objects in the universe. Even the light cannot escape from those gravitation centers. So is it possible that the gravitation of any other object in the universe is so weak, that the pothole around the object is not deep enough that the Theory of General Relativity is not fitting in the case?
