The Confrontation Between General Relativity and Experiment
TL;DR: Tests of general relativity at the post-Newtonian level have reached high precision, including the light deflection, the Shapiro time delay, the perihelion advance of Mercury, the Nordtvedt effect in lunar motion, and frame-dragging.
Book
Theory and Experiment in Gravitational Physics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a complete treatment of techniques for analyzing gravitation theory and experience, taking into account the Dicke framework, basic criteria for the viability of a gravitation theories, experimental tests of the Einstein equivalence principle, Schiff's conjecture, and a model theory devised by Lightman and Lee (1973).

Book
Gravity: Newtonian, Post-Newtonian, Relativistic
Eric Poisson,Clifford M. Will +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a unique presentation of Einstein's theory by developing powerful methods that can be applied to astrophysical systems, such as planetary motion around the Sun, the timing of binary pulsars, and gravitational waves emitted by binary black holes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Confrontation Between General Relativity and Experiment
TL;DR: A review of the experimental evidence for Einstein's special and general relativity can be found in this article, where a variety of high precision null experiments have been used to verify the weak equivalence principle and local Lorentz invariance.

Direct First-Order Experiment on the Propagation of Light from a Moving Source
TL;DR: A direct experiment of first order in v/c on the second Einstein postulate that the speed of light is independent of the uniform motion of its source has been performed in the laboratory as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Direct Terrestrial Test of the Second Postulate of Special Relativity
TL;DR: In this paper, a preliminary report of an investigation performed to test directly, in a terrestrial experiment, the second postulate of special relativity, which states that the velocity of light is independent of the motion of the light source.

Experimental Evidence for the Constancy of the Velocity of Gamma Rays, Using Annihilation in Flight
TL;DR: In the case of annihilation at rest, the two gamma rays are emitted at an anale of 180 un. Concent 85% and their velocity is C.E.S. as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Evidence for the Second Postulate of Special Relativity
TL;DR: In this article, the extinction theorem of dispersion theory was used to show that an incident light wave is extinguished at the surface of a dielectric, which may mean that information about the velocity of light from a moving source would be lost if the light passed through intervening transparent, stationary material before it was measured.

Change in Velocity of Light emitted by a Moving Source
J. F. James,R. S. Sternberg +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the velocity of light as it leaves the moving surface of a glass block through which it has been transmitted is given by the expression c′ = c + ρν, where c is the usual velocity of the light, ρ is some constant, equalling 1 on classical theory and 0 according to relativity.
