In physics, ''Gravitation'' is a well-known compendium on Einstein's theory of gravity by Charles W. Misner, Kip S. Thorne, and John Archibald Wheeler, originally published by W. H. Freeman and Company in 1973. It is often considered the early "bible" of general relativity by researchers for its prominence and is frequently called MTW after its authors' initials. The book, whose size and shape at over 1200 pages is similar to that of a large telephone book, covers many aspects of general relativity and also considers some extensions of it as well as experimental confirmations. The book is divided into two "tracks", the second of which covers more advanced topics. MTW uses the −+++ metric convention. A substantial fraction of the book consists of boxes which add supplementary substance to the already thorough main text. Here is an example of how it can be cited: * . ==See also== *''The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gravitation (book)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
