2. The Generals of the American Civil War
- www.generalsandbrevets.com
- 1,008 officers were appointed to the various general ranks on both sides during the American Civil War.
- In the Union Army, for most of the war, there were only two general ranks, brigadier and major. In 1864 the rank of lieutenant general was reactivated and given to Ulysses Simpson Grant. The three grades were distinguished by their insignia: one star for brigadier general, two for major general and three for lieutenant general.
- In the Confederate Army, by 1862 there were four grades of general: brigadier, major, lieutenant and full general. All wore the same insignia making it impossible to identify a generalīs rank by his uniform.
- This site contains pictures of 425 Confederate and 583 Union general officers. ...

8. General relativity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

- General relativity.
- General relativity (GR) or general relativity theory (GRT) is the theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915. The conceptual core of general relativity, from which its other consequences largely follow, is the Principle of Equivalence, which describes gravitation and acceleration as different perspectives of the same thing, and which was originally stated by Albert Einstein in 1907 as:.
- 6 The vierbein formulation of general relativity 7 Quotes 8 References .
- The modifications to Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation produced the first great theoretical success of general relativity: the correct prediction of the precession of the perihelion of Mercury's orbit. Many other quantitative predictions of general relativity have since been confirmed by astronomical observations. However, because of the difficulty in making these observations, theories which are similar but not identical to general relativity, such as the Brans-Dicke theory and the Rosen bi-metric theory cannot be ruled out completely, and current experimental tests can be viewed as reducing the deviation from GR which is allowable. ... 88° per year (or about 140,000 times faster than the precession of Mercury's perihelion), enabled the most precise experimental verification yet of effects predicted by general relativity. ...
- There are no known experimental results that suggest that a theory of gravity radically different from general relativity is necessary. ...
- Nevertheless, there are good theoretical reasons for considering general relativity to be incomplete. General relativity does not include quantum mechanics, and this causes the theory to break down at sufficiently high energies. A continuing unsolved challenge of modern physics is the question of how to correctly combine general relativity with quantum mechanics, thus applying it also to the smallest scales of time and space.
- The general theory added to this that the presence of matter "warped" the local space-time environment, so that apparently "straight" lines through space and time have the properties we think of "curved" lines as having.
- General relativity's mathematical foundations go back to the axioms of Euclidean geometry and the many attempts over the centuries to prove Euclid's fifth postulate, that parallel lines remain always equidistant, culminating with the realisation by Lobachevsky, Bolyai and Gauss that this axiom need not be true. The general mathematics of non-Euclidean geometries was developed by Gauss' student, Riemann, but these were thought to be mostly inapplicable to the real world until Einstein developed his theory of relativity. ... While such applications seem trivial compared to the calculations in the four dimensional spacetimes of general relativity, they provided a minimal development and test environment for some of the equations.

- The general aviation breakout session at the conference this morning focused on current issues and the outlook for the future. While 63 percent of AOPA members surveyed are optimistic about the overall future of general aviation, Boyer noted, "About 52 percent of our members polled think there is economic turbulence ahead," and 69 percent believe that the current political climate has a negative effect on GA. ...
- More than 750,000 pilots flying more than 240,000 general aviation aircraft for almost 33 million hours. ... But the GA forecast "assumes that general aviation activity will not be subject to new user-fees or limited access to airports and airspace," say the FAA statisticians.
- "The possibility of user fees being imposed on general aviation and privatizing air traffic control are among the highest concerns of AOPA members," AOPA President Phil Boyer told the media, lawmakers, and government officials at the conference. "Many believe user fees would destroy general aviation as we know it in the United States. ...
- "This study is extraordinarily important to pilots, because the answers could very well affect general aviation safety and the cost of flying for everyone something that members constantly tell us is a primary concern," Boyer said.
- Pilots gave nearly $100,000, and AOPA added another $25,000 to AirServ, which uses general aviation aircraft to assist relief efforts in disasters around the world.
- The president's budget is bad for general aviation airports and could cause each eligible airport to lose a $150,000 "entitlement" in 2006. ...
- FAA Regional Administrator Arlene Feldman introduced Boyer, saying, "Phil Boyer and AOPA are the voice of general aviation. ...
- But NRC Chairman Nils Diaz also said that general aviation aircraft don't pose a "significant threat to a nuclear power plant" because of their relatively small size, "even if they are loaded with explosives. ...
- And that just confirms the conclusions of the report "Nuclear Security General Aviation is not a Threat," that AOPA commissioned in 2002. ...
- In fact, some of the observations about general aviation originated from a December 2001 government report to Congress.
- "The world has changed significantly since then, and that includes major improvements to general aviation security," said AOPA President Phil Boyer. ...
- It devotes just two paragraphs to general aviation, noting that as security is tightened around commercial airliners, terrorists might turn to smaller GA aircraft. ...
- He urged the Air Force to work with AOPA to develop and test the system on aircraft such as a Cessna 172 or Beechcraft Bonanza to ensure that the lights don't pose a hazard to typical general aviation aircraft. ...
