Abstract
- The article offers information on the scientific study made by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) Lincoln Laboratory headed by physicist Irwin Shapiro to test the validity of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. The team, using Haystack radar antenna, observed signals and orbits of Mercury and Earth during their shifted movement from the sun last week. Test results ended with the theory's still uncertainty.
