 * The Theory of Relativity**

The theory of relativity, the first major new theory of gravity since Isaac Newton's theory about 250 years earlier, had astounded the world for the reason that a phenomenon had just happened. An experiment he had been working on confirmed that light rays from distant stars were deflected by gravity of the sun. Einstein proved the theory of relativity. An experiment had confirmed that light rays from distant stars were deflected by the gravity of the sun in just the amount he had predicted in his theory of gravity, general relativity. Einstein's earlier theory of time and space, special relativity, proposed that distance and time are not absolute. idea of general relativity, called the equivalence principle, is that gravity pulling in one direction is completely equivalent to an acceleration in the opposite direction. Einstein had believed he needed to prove all beliefs that were questionable about the sciences and that is why he had done this. Albert Einstein split the Theory of Relativity into special and general relativity. Special Relativity was developed to demonstrate the impact of inertial frames of reference on motion; this aspect of the theory shows that physical law portrays itself in the same form for every inertial frame. General Relativity describes gravity in relation to certain physics concepts. It combines Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation with theories discovered by Albert Einstein. Cosmology was a great influence to Albert Einstein in the help with the theory of relativity. Cosmology is the effect of gravity on the universe as a whole. No one had an idea what kind of breakthrough he had actually made. His theory had dealt with how black holes were created in space.

The probe’s gyroscopes measure two effects predicted by Einstein. One is the geodetic effect, which says the Earth’s mass warps local time and space like the weight of a bowling ball would dent a rubber sheet.
