Finally, we show how Equation 1 relates to the general form of a linear system mentioned above: A is an s-by-s matrix, and x and b are vectors of dimension s. I always wondered if the indeterminacy at the quantum level leaves room for free will and God that seems to be precluded by deterministic models like general relativity. It was actually clever writing that he ended up using the knife for the tracheotomy, because it meant he had to ditch the knife and lose his Plan B, raising the stakes in the drama. "General Relativity from A to B" explained to me the meaning of the radar-coordinates (emphasizing operational measurements) and the meaning of the spacetime interval (emphasizing the causal structure). Gravity Probe B was launched in 2004 to test Einstein's theory of general relativity. The recent discovery of CERN ( even though the results question Special Relativity) may give enough scientists cover to question the standard model (which cannot reconcile General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics). For the non-physicists in the crowd, this was the change to gravity that Einstein introduced. There are many news article on the latest report from Gravity Probe B stating how the results are consistent with predictions from Einstein's General Relativity (see here, here, and here). General relativity Curved space-time Curvature of the four-dimensional space-time is the basis of general relativity. This problem is actually one assigned in the undergraduate general relativity course I took in the spring 2008. Note Added 05 May 2011: A new story on the BBC website, Gravity Probe B confirms Einstein effects, further discusses the work of Gravity Probe B in demonstrating the frame-dragging effect of general relativity. Gravity Probe B illustration (Stanford Univ.) A NASA mission more than half a century in the making has confirmed two key predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity, project officials said Wednesday. Is considered by most physicists to be well-understood in environments where general relativistic effects are not relevant: http://b.qr.ae/JsJQbl and http://b.qr.ae/JTKqim), but I don't know what you mean when you say that “quantum mechanics does not preclude the existence of genuine free will.

The answer is Plasma Cosmology. Of course general relativity is really about semi-Riemannian geometry [though physicists like to refer to it as merely 'Riemannian'], so you would want to also refer to texts like O'Neill's Semi-Riemannian Geometry With Applications to Relativity.
