The contents of the Golden age of general relativity page were merged into History of general relativity and it now redirects there. For the contribution history and old versions of the merged article please see its history. |
I created the original version of this article and had been monitoring it, but I am leaving the Wikipedia and am now abandoning this article to its fate.
Just wanted to provide notice that I am only responsible (in part) for the last version I edited; see User:Hillman/Archive. I emphatically do not vouch for anything you might see in more recent versions, although I hope for the best.
Good luck in your search for information, regardless!--- CH 00:02, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
On 2011-7-9, an anonymous contributor added two publications by Ruffini to the timeline. As far as I can see, the time-line is supposed to show historical developments, not merely list people's individual publications, unless those publications are truly famous and ground-breaking. So I think these publications should be removed. If everyone adds their favourite publications, the list would contain tens of thousands of articles.

Was the Kruskal-Szekeres coordinate system not introduced in 1960 and by George Szekeres not Peter Szekeres (his son)? Check the reference in Hawking and Ellis - but perhaps someone knows better than them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.181.7.1 ( talk) on 04:33, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
The title of this article, "Golden age of general relativity", is not capitalized correctly, and thus it does not hyperlink readily to other Wikipedia articles. For example, really important theories in the sciences are proper nouns and their names get capitalized. For example: Newton's Laws of Motion, the Theory of Universal Gravitation, Atomic Theory, Special Relativity, General Relativity, the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, Modern Algebra, Complex Analysis, Matrix Theory, Vector Analysis, Quantum Mechanics,Freudian Psychology, etc.
Furthermore, the term "Golden Age" is capitalized, such as in the Golden Age of Greek civilization, the Golden Age of the Roman Republic, etc.
Hence, this article should be titled the
Golden Age of General Relativity. Other forms of capitalization can be redirected to this one.

While I feel that the original merge was performed without due process, on reviewing the arguments made by User:Steve Quinn, the state of this article, and the references that were and weren't dug up at WT:PHYS, I'm inclined to agree that the article should be merged into History of general relativity. If references describing (and naming) this period in detail are found, this article could stand as an expansion of the HoGR section, but until such references can be cited, this article seems to violate WP:SYN in its present form.
So, it's merge proposal time. Straw poll is below; please add votes and comments as you see fit. -- Christopher Thomas ( talk) 23:08, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
Two discussions mined sources indirectly related to this topic here, and here. Below is a brief summary of the sources to determine relevance to salvaged content. ---- Steve Quinn ( talk) 05:50, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
I will try to summarize all the other sources later. ---- Steve Quinn ( talk) 05:50, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

The one reference in this article that actually refers to a golden age is that by Kip Thorne; and he calls it the "Golden Age of black hole theory". Is the term widely used or is it just his invention? A Caltech site discusses a Golden Age of General Relativity, but it was produced by the group that Kip Thorne is a part of. A couple of other references ( A to Z of Physicists and The Expanding World of General Relativity) appear to be quoting Thorne. Other people seem to have different ideas. This paper defines a golden age lasting from 1915 to 1925. In Introduction to General Relativity, Walecka says "Ours might truly be called the golden age of general relativity and cosmology." (i. e., around 2007). RockMagnetist ( talk) 21:18, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
