Einstein is Right! Gravity Bends Light - The General Theory of Relativity
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
General relativity, or the general theory of relativity, is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1916 and the current description of gravitation in modern physics. General relativity generalizes special relativity and Newton's law of universal gravitation, providing a unified description of gravity as a geometric property of space and time, or spacetime. In particular, the curvature of spacetime is directly related to the energy and momentum of whatever matter and radiation are present. The relation is specified by the Einstein field equations, a system of partial differential equations. Some predictions of general relativity differ significantly from those of classical physics, especially concerning the passage of time, the geometry of space, the motion of bodies in free fall, and the propagation of light. Examples of such differences include gravitational time dilation, gravitational lensing, the gravitational redshift of light, and the gravitational time delay. The predictions of general relativity have been confirmed in all observations and experiments to date. Although general relativity is not the only relativistic theory of gravity, it is the simplest theory that is consistent with experimental data. However, unanswered questions remain, the most fundamental being how general relativity can be reconciled with the laws of quantum physics to produce a complete and self-consistent theory of quantum gravity. Einstein's theory has important astrophysical implications. For example, it implies the existence of black holes—regions of space in which space and time are distorted in such a way that nothing, not even light, can escape—as an end-state for massive stars. There is ample evidence that the intense radiation emitted by certain kinds of astronomical objects is due to black holes; for example, microquasars and active galactic nuclei result from the presence of stellar black holes and black holes of a much more massive type, respectively. The bending of light by gravity can lead to the phenomenon of gravitational lensing, in which multiple images of the same distant astronomical object are visible in the sky. General relativity also predicts the existence of gravitational waves, which have since been observed indirectly; a direct measurement is the aim of projects such as LIGO and NASA/ESA Laser Interferometer Space Antenna and various pulsar timing arrays. In addition, general relativity is the basis of current cosmological models of a consistently expanding universe

good material but you really upset me with the music louder than your voice and add echo too. mostly ufo freak videos do that stuff

if every force has a equal and opposite reaction- does this mean that on the reverse side of the curve of gravity e.g the convex plane of gravity, particles are being pushed outward- and hence this is the energy is used to spin the Earth on its axis and aross space.
What force was it that makes gravity bend?
if you can control the bending of time space, you can control light and also the speed and direction of particles- this can be used as an energy generator -
what caused the space time fabric to bend in the first place? -
LOL.
-
why aren't these things continued to be tested today? you would think with Lazar and better telescope we would have more accurate measurements. physics is getting to be such a holding pattern, im glad no one likes these results in the comments, some one will privately look in to this more and we will make progress again

Gravity DOES NOT BENDS LIGHT...mass bends spacetime and light is just going throught that bended space time. Gravity is the effect we can see, not the cause of that effect....idiots

Umm, this makes a nice bed time story!

iis Brian always fabulous

@Luis Pablo I don't really know all that about the curvature of space-time but I do know that the fabric of space and time is on some kind of radio waves that transmits energy around the object in space but this is all in theory. I also theorize that since earth has it's own gravity it doesn't collapse on itself because dark matter is keeping the object in it's own gravitational place and keeps the earth on its own axis.

The Morley Experiment is invalid as they do the experiment on Earth but not IN SPACE!
Earth DRAGS ETHER!
They are liar. -
Nope. MAGNETISM bends light.
Albert Einstein is a liar and a fraud and a PLAGIARIST! -
This presentation is flawed
-
It is a very very very bad way to explain the curvature of space-time in that way... Because it seems to say that things fall to the SOUTH POLE instead of the center of mass. The correct way to make the exampe is to use 1/2 Earth to show that things fall towards the center of mass.

Visible motion of space object's powered by sunlight energy, not gravity . Visit YOUTUBE SUNLIGHT ELECTRO RAY'S

thanks for helping to prove my point sound travels faster and better through solid especially a black hole which serves as a catapult for sound.
-
not bs light is pure energy it contains all forms of matter so in a black hole. light energy escapes as sound (frequency with vibration) the minute you are in a vessel moving at the speed of light you yourself have converted your mass to pure energy. m = (c x c)/ E is your existence at that time and space cannot affect you for that period of travel why you have self contained gravity and energy and your environment does not matter and will appear not to exist until you stop
-
antigravity is nothing more than self contained energy free from its environment
-
thats EINSTEIN

All B/S..... Man has never been to space. He can't get past the Firmament. So man knows Nothing. NASA is an Ancient Religion. Pagan sun worshipers. Notice how they name everything after Ancient Pagan Gods? Hellooooo... Wake up people. Not 1 real footage or picture of space, all CGI. Let alone any real footage/pictures of a globe earth ....

Hello out to all you atoms out there!!
