Examples
- Einstein's groundbreaking work led to the development of the general theory of relativity, transforming our understanding of space and time.
- The general theory of relativity revolutionized physics by describing gravity as a curvature of spacetime caused by massive objects.
- According to the general theory of relativity, gravity is not a force but rather the result of objects following geodesic paths in curved spacetime.
- Einstein's general theory of relativity predicted phenomena such as gravitational redshift and the bending of light around massive objects.
- The general theory of relativity has been extensively tested through experimentation and observation and remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics and cosmology.
