The Full Story

Albert Einstein completed and presented general relativity in 1915. In this theory, gravity is not treated as a conventional force but as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. The theory explained Mercury’s perihelion shift and later predicted the bending of light and gravitational waves. It remains the modern theory of gravity on large scales.
