Consider the following phenomena :
1. Light is affected by gravity.
2. The Universe is constantly expanding.
3. Matter warps its surrounding space-time.
Which of the above is/are the prediction/predictions of Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, often discussed in media?
Statement 1 is correct: According to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, gravity can bend light. This phenomenon is known as gravitational lensing. Statement 2 is correct: The General Theory of Relativity led to the prediction of an expanding universe, which has been confirmed by observational evidence. Statement 3 is correct: According to the General Theory of Relativity, the presence of matter and energy warps the fabric of space and time around it, which is the underlying cause of the gravitational force. So, all three statements are correct.
