What does Einstein's theory of general relativity really predict?
Wiki User
∙ 8y ago
Some of its predictions that were confirmed are:* Bending of light passing near the Sun - according to General Relativity, this is larger than expected from previous theories.
* Precession of Mercury's perihelion. While this is not really a prediction (it was known previously), General Relativity provided a reasonable explanation for that.
* Black holes - the equations were worked out by Schwarzschild, and others after him.
* Expansion of the Universe - the Universe can't remain stable for long, it must either expand or contract.

What was Einsteins his greatest invention?
Einstein wasn't really an inventor he was a theoretical physicist. Some of his greatest discoveries were general relativity, the quantisation of the photon and the mass energy equivalence equation (E=MC^2).
Is there anything called Gravitational Push?
yes. there is no such thing as the gravitational pull however. look up Einsteins theory of special relativity. the bend of space is what gravity really is.
When is relativity applicable?
Special relativity is always applicable, but only really useful when you are considering objects moving close to the speed of light. General relativity should be used when objects are very heavy or dense.
Are GPS satellite clocks really updated due to time dilation from general relativity?
Yes, they are. If they were not, your GPS would have at most an accuracy of 50 ft.
What does Einstein's theory have to do with the big bang theory?
The General Theory of Relativity provides the general mathematical framework required to work out many of the details related to the expansion of the Universe - which really means that space itself is expanding!
What is the law of general relativity?
It states that the force of attraction between two universal bodies is directly propertional to the product of massess of two bodies and inversely propertional to the square of distance between the two bodies.
Is it possible to really predict the future?
NO.
Are monsoons easy to predict?
no really
Where is the next earthquake?
Scientist can't really predict this. There really isn't an answer.
How can you predict if a metal will replace another in a compound?
you really cant
Do mood rings really predict youre mood?
Maybe...
What is Einsteins achievements?
fuiguring out the speed of light he found that when he was a child if he really put his brain to work and is mouth to rest he would get more studdying in!
