Testing general relativity using a bouncing ball

In a recent article (Liang and Lan, (2011)), we showed that the trajectories predicted by general-relativistic and Newtonian mechanics from the same parameters and initial conditions for a low-speed weak-gravity bouncing ball system will rapidly disagree completely if the trajectories are chaotic. H...
