general theory of relativity

基本解释

In his general theory of relativity, published in 1916, Einstein showed that gravity too can slow time.
在他1916年发表的广义相对论中，爱因斯坦证明了重力可以减慢时间。
His general theory of relativity has proved accurate in predicting how light travels from some of the most distant galaxy clusters in the universe, according to new measurements.
他的广义相对论被证实是正确的，在一项新的测试中，它精确地预测了在宇宙里一些最为遥远星系团那里光的运行。
Einstein's general theory of relativity contends that a slight difference in the force of gravity at two different places causes clocks in those places to tick at different rates.
爱因斯坦的广义相对论认为地球上两个不同位置上重力的细微差别，会导致这两个位置上的时钟以不同的速率来记录时间。

Einstein predicted the distortion of light in this way in 1915, as part of his general theory of relativity.

The SKA will join the hunt for gravitational waves—ripples in the structure of space predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.

Assuming this principle (without proving it) allowed Einstein to develop the general theory of relativity in 1916, and to describe gravity in purely geometric terms.

the theory of gravitation, developed by Einstein in 1916, extending the special theory of relativity to include acceleration and leading to the conclusion that gravitational forces are equivalent to forces caused by acceleration
