The Awesome Evidence for General Relativity (1x15)

Air date: Sep 01, 2021

Dr. Lincoln introduced Einstein’s special theory of relativity in Lesson 5. Now he covers general relativity, which incorporates gravity and predicts the warping of spacetime around massive objects. Study three phenomena that prove general relativity: an anomaly in the orbit of Mercury, the bending of starlight passing near the Sun, and the slowing of clocks in regions of stronger gravity.
