  1. Jul 20, 2015 · Often students have difficulty reconciling the General Relativity (GR) view of gravity versus their own experience with gravity on the surface of Earth. This article covers some of the basic concepts and explains how they work with “every day” gravity.

  2. Nov 25, 2015 · A century ago, physicist Albert Einstein unveiled a theory that would change the world — general relativity. It would cement his place at the top of the pantheon of scientific minds, and see him transformed into a modern icon. But what is general relativity, and why does it matter?

  3. Nov 27, 2022 · Einstein's Theory of General Relativity is our current best model of gravity. It expands on the ideas of special relativity in a way that accounts for an apparent paradox when trying to consolidate special relativity with Newtonian gravity.

  4. The theory explained the anomalous orbit of Mercury, but the first major triumph came in 1919 when Arthur Eddington and his colleagues measured the influence of the Sun’s gravity on light from stars during a total solar eclipse. Physicists made many exotic predictions using general relativity.

  5. To understand what a black hole is like and how it influences its surroundings, we need a theory that can describe the action of gravity under such extreme circumstances. To date, our best theory of gravity is the general theory of relativity, which was put forward in 1916 by Albert Einstein.

  6. e. General relativity is a theory of gravitation developed by Albert Einstein between 1907 and 1915. The theory of general relativity says that the observed gravitational effect between masses results from their warping of spacetime. By the beginning of the 20th century, Newton's law of universal gravitation had been accepted for more than two ...
