History of Relativity, Gravitation and Cosmology: Block 1

  • Luís C B Crispino (Universidade Federal do Pará, Amazonia)

Description

This session is devoted to the historical developments of Gravitation, Cosmology and Relativity. Since this is the first Marcel Grossmann meeting happening after the 100th anniversary of the 1919 total solar eclipse, contributions about the pioneering experimental attempts to verify gravitational light bending effect are expected. More generically, contributions devoted to historical analysis of ancient and modern works in Gravitation and Cosmology, as well as on the first developments of relativity theory, will be appreciated. Talks with biographical aspects of scientists with significant contributions to Relativity, Gravitation and Cosmology, as well as on General Relativity tests, or other generic historical aspects of these subjects, are also welcome.
