I have finally found an explanation of the General Theory of Relativity that I actually understand!
Here are some of the facts that I will include in my infographic:
- Published in 1916 (discovered 1915)
- Gravity arises from the curvature of space and time
- The Earth is not pulled towards the sun by gravity
- 1919 solar eclipse confirmed Einstein’s theory
- Universe been expanding for 13.7billion years
- E=MC2 (energy is mass x the speed of light squared)
- Gravity bends light (gravitational lensing)
- Speed of light = 186,000 miles per second
- Time passes slower for fast-moving observers
- Nothing can escape from a black hole
