Attempt at a content aimed at the Internet community to write a simulation program, based on a simple algorithm incorporating the laws of general relativity, that can realistically simulate the behavior of black holes, binary stars, and the twin paradox. http://users.telenet.be/nicvroom/contest.htm » Gravitational Waves and Black Holes: An Introduction to General Relativity
An introduction by Jan-Willem van Holten (NIKHEF, Amsterdam), based on lectures given at the University of Heidelberg in 1997. http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9704043 » Interactive Experiments in Gravity
Try an experiment that illustrates the gravitational attraction between two objects or use a Java applet to understand how orbits work in strongly curved space-time. http://www.fourmilab.ch/gravitation/ » Interactive Geometric Database
Interactive database developed by Mustapha Ishak and Kayll Lake and hosted by Queen's University; allows the user to search for specific solutions of Einstein's field equations (that is, for specific model universes of general relativity). http://130.15.26.66/servlet/GRDB2.GRDBServlet » Introduction to General Relativity
By Gerard 't Hooft (Utrecht University); based on lectures held in 2002; a thorough introduction starting with accelerated frames and including topics such as black holes, the basics of cosmology, and gravitational radiation. http://www.phys.uu.nl/~thooft/lectures/gr.html » NOVA Online/Einstein Revealed
