[edit] Who Cares About Test Particles in GTR?

Test particles are not unique to general relativity. They are also used in classical electrodynamics. In fact, the only place most people will ever hear about them is in their freshman physics class. Strait 21:13, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Give us a chance! This is currently just a stub, but be assured there are many interesting and important issues involving test particles which we hope to discuss in this an other articles, at a level suitable for this encyclopedia, which do involve gtr in an essential way. Please see Eric Poisson's recent review. Thanks for your impatience-- it helps motivate us to get back to work here! ---CH 01:16, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Students beware

I created the original version of this article and had been monitoring it, but I am leaving the WP 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 18:03, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
