Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Einstein's theory of relativity predicted that massive objects like stars and planets could warp the fabric of space-time, causing light to bend around them. This was spectacularly confirmed during a solar eclipse in 1919, when stars appeared to shift position due to the sun's gravitational field bending their light.
