Einstein's General Theory of Relativity | Lecture 1

General Relativity | Lecture 9

Einstein's theory of general relativity is almost universally accepted by physicists and has been confirmed in many experiments over the years since Einstein put it forth in 1916. Recently, Stanford University scientists successfully measured the theory's predicted distortion of space-time by the pull of Earth's mass and how the mass pulls at orbiting objects. The experiment has been "in the works" for 52 years and cost about 750,000,000 to complete. Does this instance of confirmation significa
