NASA Test Confirms an Einstein Prediction
Sunday, November 28, 2004 A key prediction of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity has been confirmed by an experiment showing that the Earth's rotation drags the surrounding fabric of space-time along with it.
The phenomenon, known as frame-dragging, was one of the last untested predictions of general relativity. A NASA satellite, Gravity Probe B, was launched this year to test the same effect.

How your home computer could prove Einstein right
Wednesday, November 24, 2004 Thousands of British computer-users will join the search for one of the most mysterious forces in the Universe next year, as part of celebrations for the centenary of Albert Einstein’s greatest discoveries.
The Einstein@home project will tap into the spare capacity of home and office computers to analyse data that could confirm the existence of gravitational waves that Einstein predicted in his general theory of relativity, but which have never been detected.

'It's All Relative' is a whole new approach to Einstein
Friday, November 19, 2004 Around 200 students from four Aspen schools re-created Albert Einstein's universe, using dance and movement as their medium. The four schools split the cost of hiring instructors from the National Dance Institute of New York to choreograph the performance.
Einstein was chosen as the subject of the show because 2005 marks the centenary of his "miracle year," in which the physicist published his most influential work, including his famous paper on the special theory of relativity. All the schools have been discussing Einstein in conjunction with the show.
The show finishes with a testament to Einstein's famous aphorism: "Imagination is more important that knowledge."
