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.

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.


How valid is Einstein laws?

Einstein's laws, particularly his theory of relativity, have been extensively tested and confirmed through numerous experiments and observations. They are considered highly valid and form the basis of modern physics. However, they may break down in extreme conditions such as near singularities or at the quantum level, where the theory of general relativity and quantum mechanics are not yet fully reconciled.


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.


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).

What is einsteins greatest achievement?

Albert Einstein's greatest achievement was his development of the theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity. This theory has had profound implications for modern physics and has been confirmed through numerous experiments and observations.
