- Southampton GR Explorer - http://www.maths.soton.ac.uk/relativity/GRExplorer/
An introduction to Einstein's theory of General Relativity and related topics. These pages include informative text, pictures and movies.
- Solving Einstein's Equations in Three Dimensions - http://www.theory.caltech.edu/people/patricia/test/Einstein3.html#Einstein31
This is a Mathematica notebook showing how to plot light cones in two plus one spacetime dimensions with a point mass.
- Interactive Experiments in Gravity - http://www.fourmilab.ch/gravitation/
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.
- Gravity Probe B - http://einstein.stanford.edu/
Gravity Probe B is the relativity gyroscope experiment being developed by NASA and Stanford University to test two extraordinary, unverified predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
- Gravity of Gravity - http://www.aip.org/enews/physnews/1999/split/pnu454-1.htm
An experiment at the University of Washington seeks to determine whether the gravitational binding energy of an object generates gravity of its own.

This site contains a comprehensive introduction to the basic ideas and tests of general relativity
- The Cosmological Constant - http://pancake.uchicago.edu/~carroll/encyc/
An overview of why Einstein added an extra term in general relativity, and why it is still examined.
- Relativity - http://nobelprize.org/physics/educational/relativity/
Provides information on the history, experiments and paradoxes of relativity.
- Lecture Notes on General Relativity - http://pancake.uchicago.edu/~carroll/notes/
Sean M. Carroll's lecture notes from a one-semester graduate-level course he taught at MIT in 1996. Notes are in postscript format.
