General relativity is a theory of gravitation that was developed by Albert Einstein between 1907 and 1915. According to general relativity‚ the observed gravitational attraction between masses results from their warping of space and time. By the beginning of the 20th century‚ Newton’s law of universal gravitation had been accepted for more than two hundred years as a valid description of the gravitational force between masses. In Newton’s model‚ gravity is the result of an attractive force between
