大家2012好！！！今日练习双倍奖励~~~~
爱因斯坦注意到自己的狭义相对论里没有涉及重力这一问题。如果一个运动的物体——光遇到重力这样的阻碍会怎么样呢？在此后10年的大部分时间里，他一直在思索这个问题，最后于1917年初发表了题为《关于广义相对论的宇宙学思考》的论文。当然，1905年的狭义相对论是一项深刻而又重要的成就。狭义相对论除了爱因斯坦可能还会有其他人来发掘，不过发现广义相对论可就不这么简单了~~~

or so it has sometimes been written
According to Einstein himself, he was simply sitting in a chair when the problem of gravity occurred to him.

the special theory
it dealt with things moving in an essentially unimpeded state
It was a question that would occupy his thoughts for most of the next decade and lead to the publication in early 1917 of a paper entitled

But the general theory was something else altogether.
1907年，反正有时候书上是这么写的，有个工人从房顶上掉了下来，爱因斯坦就开始考虑引力的问题。天哪，像许多动人的故事一样，这个故事的真实性似乎存在问题。据爱因斯坦自己说，他想到引力问题的时候，当时只是坐在椅子上。
实际上，爱因斯坦想到的更像是开始为引力问题找个答案。他从一开头就清楚地认识到，狭义相对论里缺少一样东西，那就是引力。狭义相对论之所以“狭义”，是因为它研究的完全是在无障碍的状态下运动的东西。但是，要是一个运动中的东西--尤其是光--遇到了比如引力这样的障碍会怎么样？在此后10年的大部分时间里，他一直在思索这个问题，最后于1917年初发表了题为《关于广义相对论的宇宙学思考》的论文。当然，1905年的狭义相对论是一项深刻而又重要的成就。但是，正如C.P.斯诺有一次指出的，要是爱因斯坦没有想到，别人也会想到，很可能在5年之内。这是一件在等着要发生的事。但是，那个广义相对论完全是另一回事。“没有它，”斯诺在1979年写道，“我们今天有可能还在等待那个理论。”
