Scientific paper

The principal landmarks in the development of general relativity (exclusive of cosmology) during the first 30 years after its founding are reviewed. Consideration is given to experimental and observational verifications of the predictions of the general theory of relativity, the post-Newtonian approximation, and Schwarzschild's solution for the space-time metric outside a central spherically symmetric distribution of mass (the Schwarszchild black hole). Other problems discussed include the relativistic equations of hydrostatic equilibrium for spherically symmetric distribution of masses and the problem of gravitational collapse.
