General Theory of Relativity

  One of the most important theories in the field of physics is Einstein’s theory of relativity. The theory of relativity has 2 parts one is the special theory of relativity and the other is a general theory of relativity. As in the previous article, I discussed the Special theory of relativity. Now will discuss the general theory of relativity. The general theory of relativity was proposed by Einstein in 1915. The theory revolutionized our concept of space-time and gravity. General relativity is a theory of gravitation that describes the motion of massive objects in spacetime, proposing that gravity is the curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of mass and energy. Now let’s dive into the theory.      Background: Before general relativity, Isaac Newton's laws of motion and gravitation had been the prevailing theory of gravity for over two centuries. However, as scientists made more precise observations and conducted experiments, certain inadequacies and inconsistencies with
