The Confrontation between General Relativity and Experiment
The Confrontation between General Relativity and Experiment
The status of experimental tests of general relativity and of theoretical frameworks for analysing them are reviewed. Einstein's equivalence principle (EEP) is well supported by experiments such as the E\"otv\"os experiment, tests of special relativity, and the gravitational redshift experiment. Future tests of EEP and of the inverse square law …
