Two Centuries of Gravitation in Review Michael Garelick Scott Steffin General Relativity Theory In the theory of General Relativity (GR) a massive object will cause the curvature of the space-time around it producing a gravity field. This theory is used in cosmology and is the current view among most physicists. Experimental Verification of GR from observing gravity Deflection of light path or “bending of light” by gravity. Gravitational red shift Gravitational waves have not been experimentally confirmed. To date there is no detection of gravity waves as defined in GR. All the possible
