Description
A gentle introduction to Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity discussing gravitational waves and the curvature of space and how, since 1915, experiments have been undertaken to test its accuracy. Recent observations by Jodrell Bank astronomers have shown that Einstein’s theory must be at least 99.95% right!
