![]() ![]() ![]() Within a few months, Einstein had written a series of papers, including his famous equation E = mc 2, all of which transformed our understanding of the universe. Scientists call 1905 Albert Einstein’s annus mirabilis – his miracle year. Our contemporary understanding of gravity comes from Einstein’s theory, which continues to stand as one of the best-tested theories in science. His 107-year-old theory also predicted many scientific phenomena years before they were observed, including the existence of black holes, gravitational waves, gravitational lensing and the expansion of the universe. ![]() Normally stars near the Sun are overwhelmed by the bright sky but during a solar eclipse, the Moon obscures the Sun, creating a sky dark enough to photograph stars.Įinstein’s theory revealed a radically new framework for physics, abolishing existing notions of space and time. The theory predicts that light from a distant star, passing near the Sun, will follow the curve as it travels to the Earth, making the star appear to be displaced in the sky – it even predicts by how much the stars will appear to be out of place! Did you know extensive work took place to prove Albert Einstein’s ground breaking Theory of General Relativity?Īlbert Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, first presented in 1915, states that massive objects, such as planets and stars, curve the fabric of space and time around them. ![]()
