Contemporary Physics Education Project Gravitation: from Newton to Einstein Poster (30" x 21")
Shows the LIGO discovery which won the 2017 Nobel Prize for Physics.
Provides a summary of Newton's Law of Gravitation and Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
Describes classical black holes and the indirect evidence for gravitational radiation. Discusses gravity and gravity waves.
Illustrates and explains direct detection of gravitational waves from merging black holes.
Excellent for bulletin boards and walls. Brand new poster - just released.
This colorful, graphically rich chart illustrates and summarizes theories of gravity as they evolved from Newton's Law of Gravitation to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Side panels in the chart also include information about "classical" black holes and the indirect evidence for the emission of gravitational waves which resulted in the Nobel Prize in 1993 to Hulse and Taylor. The centerpiece of the chart is an artist's illustration of merging black holes which produced the first direct detection of gravitational waves. The Contemporary Physics Education Project (CPEP) is a world wide, non profit consortium of teacher educators and physicists. CPEP-developed materials seek to disseminate current understanding of the fundamental nature of matter and energy, incorporating the major research findings of recent years.
