Distant Pulsar Lends New Support for Einsteins Relativity Theory
May 14, 2013 - A recent study is providing new support for a theory that many scientists consider to be one of the two major pillars of modern physics - Albert Einsteins General Theory of Relativity.

It seems there are always members of the scientific community who are eager for the chance to knock the air out of Albert Einstein's nearly 100 year-old General Theory of Relativity. This milestone work describes how the elemental force of gravity helps to shape the geometry of space and time. And some of its predictions - involving phenomena like the dilation of time, the motion of bodies in free fall and the gravitational bending of light - are mind-bendingly different than those of classical physics.

But, despite decades of assaults, Einsteins famous hypothesis keeps coming out on top, passing every test its subjected to, including a recent examination that some scientists called one of its most stringent tests ever. The test was conducted by a group of astronomers and physicists using a unique cosmic laboratory, created by the discovery of a rare celestial circumstance - a rotating neutron star, or pulsar, tightly orbiting a white dwarf star nearly 7,000 light-years from Earth.

Scientists say that the pulsar, weighing twice as much as our Sun, is the most massive neutron star ever identified, with a gravitational field more than 300 billion times stronger than that on Earth. "Theyre [pulsars] very, very close to being black holes. And thats actually one of the very special things about this system is that this pulsar, this neutron star, is one of the most massive neutron stars weve ever seen, which means that it has incredibly strong gravity. Its in orbit around a white dwarf which is much less massive, said Dr. Scott Ransom, who is with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, which first spotted the pulsar system.
