Theory of Relativity
Besides the Special Theory of Relativity, Einstein also developed the General Theory of Relativity (The General Theory of Relativity). In Einstein's theory takes into account the effect of gravity on light. Einstein showed that light path will undergo deflection when it is closer to outer space objects the big ones it. You know, this theory made it through a very difficult test, that is, when determining the movement of precession of the perihelion orbit of the planet Mercury. Then in 1919 when a total solar eclipse in the Gulf of Guinea, the African group of British scientists tried to prove the existence of the deflection of starlight when it is close to the sun as predicted by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. Astronomers photographed the various positions of a particular star to the sun and then repeated six months later. Einstein prediction turned out right! At that time, Einstein became very famous
