Astronomers have used an odd couple of stars to confirm that Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, now almost a century old, is still alive and kicking. Julian Cribb reports.
Einstein's theory of relativity may be almost a century old, but it still provides an accurate explanation of the universe as we know it.
... observe a total solar eclipse and prove or disprove Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Now, in a new RAS-funded expedition for the International Year of Astronomy (IYA 2009), ...
Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, which describes how the gravity of a massive object like a star can curve space and time, has been successfully used to predict the bending of starlight ...
Australian researchers have proved that Einstein's theory of relativity still explains the evolution of the Universe, even when applied to anomalies.
... theories have been advanced, none has been shown successful.
But by the same token, Einstein's theories of relativity also fail to unify the four forces.

The feat is theoretically possible thanks to a time-travel scenario permitted by Einstein’s general theory of relatively.
