His general theory of relativity explains that gravity is produced by the bending of space. There is a formula to calculate the gravity of an objects gravity directly related to the mass of the object. Think of a trampoline with a heavy Bowling ball in the very center. If you set a Golf ball on the edge of the trampoline it will roll to the bowling ball due to the bending of the trampoline fabric. If you were to roll the golf ball around the trampoline instead of at the bowling ball you will notice the golf ball will make several rotations around the bowling ball befor hitting it. Now imagine the mass of the bowling ball has increased 100 fold, it would bend the fabric of the trampoline to the ground in the center. If you were to set the golf ball on the edge of the trampoline now you would see it fall to the center much much faster than it did earlier. This is a simple explanation of why the moon circles the earth, or earth the sun. The moon is actually falling towards earth but moves to fast it keeps missing it. These ideas are fundamental to our understanding of gravity, which we would never know had Einstein not written his paper.

What do Isaac Newton and Christopher Columbus have in common?

Gravity by Newton and space/time by Einstein. Newton's clock on earth has the same force as Einstein's clock, but when Einstein's clock moves to the top of Everest mountain, it will have less force. By Amin Elsersawi Both Newton and Einstein admitted that there is gravity. The gravity of Newton was on Earth, and the gravity of Einstein was the cosmological constant. Einstein made a big mistake when he added the cosmological constant to compensate for his thought that the universe was static (stand still). The cosmological constant was an anti-gravity 'vacuum' force that kept gravity from pulling the universe in on itself. In conclusion, Newton was right, and Einstein was wrong in distinguishing the gravity.
