And, after two years of analyzing astronomical data, they concluded that Einstein’s theory, which describes the interplay between gravity, space and time, works as well in vast distances as in more local regions of space.” Results of the pioneering study, titled “Confirmation of general relativity on large scales from weak lensing and galaxy velocities” were published in the prestigious Nature journal in March 2010. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4f2739266c07eca826afc7/cb9ab560-5341-492f-adf4-bb6eed5f050e/sdss_galaxy_cluster_widescreen.png Home - International News Coverage The breakthrough confirmation of Einstein’s theory of gravity on cosmic scales was announced by Princeton University and covered widely in the press, including in Nature, National Geographic, NBC News, Space.com, among others. It is also featured in “Putting Relativity to the Test” on PBS Nova: “For years tests of GR on truly cosmic scales—as opposed to those of planets or our solar system—were inconclusive.
