General Relativity

Apr 27, 20261 min read

General Relativity is Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity as curvature of spacetime.

Matter and energy tell spacetime how to curve; curved spacetime tells matter how to move.

It replaces Newtonian gravity in regimes with strong gravity, high precision timing, or cosmic scale.
