Consider the following phenomena: 1) Light is affected by gravity. 2) The Universe is constantly expanding. 3) Matter warps its surrounding space-time. Which of the above is/are the prediction/predictions of Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, often discussed in media?

Question

CollectorBabu · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: 1, 2 and 3. ● Einstein&rsquo;s general theory of relativity is based on how we think gravity governs the behaviour of the Universe. ● We know that matter in the Universe warps the surrounding fabric of spacetime, and this warping effect is what we refer to as gravity. ● According to Einstein&rsquo;s theory, light, just like any other form of matter, is affected by gravity. That is, the light also &ldquo;falls&rdquo; in a gravitational field. ● Hubble Space Telescope captured the image of a phenomenon called Einstein Ring. Einstein in his theory of general relativity had suggested that a massive object would warp space and time.
