=========================================
Physical Observations, Applications
=========================================
Michealson-Morley and Gravitational Redshift <=> Locally Lorentz
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(motivational)
Precession Perhelion of Mercury <=> Schwartzchild?
------------------------------------------------------
(explicit calculation)
Deflection of Light <=> Geodesics
-----------------------------------
From Carroll p292,
G M_sun /(c^2) = 1.48e5 cm, R_sun = 6.96e10 cm, deflection angle of 1.75 arcsec
Gravitational Waves <=> Weak Field Approximation, Perturbation Theory
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
See Carroll p293
GPS Corrections <=> Geodesics with E&M
------------------------------------------
(order of magnitude?)
Gravity Probe B <=> Frame Dragging, geodetic
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(probably not...)
