William Fairbank Meetings
Second William Fairbank Meeting
The second meeting continued the Fairbank conference series in Hong Kong, focused on relativistic gravitational experiments in space and coordinated by an international organizing committee.
Meeting Overview
The Second William Fairbank Conference on Relativistic Gravitational Experiment in Space was held in Hong Kong from December 13 to 16, 1993. It continued the meeting series devoted to precision gravitational physics and space-based tests of relativity.
The meeting was organized by an international committee co-chaired by C.W.F. Everitt and Remo Ruffini, with Alfred X. Yu chairing the local organizing committee. The historical page preserves the conference poster and organizing structure for this edition.
As part of the William Fairbank series, the Hong Kong meeting maintained the focus on experimental gravitation in space and the exchange between theorists, experimentalists, and institutions building the next generation of relativity tests.
