What is Albert Einstein's theory of relativity?

Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity transformed scientists' understanding of space and time.

Special Relativity, published in 1905, proposed the universe as a four-dimensional place where things happen in "space and time".

This contested notions of a three-dimensional world, where time ticks away independently of space.

In his later General Theory of Relativity, revealed in 1916, shows introduced gravity as the ";warping" of space-time.

He said clocks would run more slowly in intense gravitational fields near very massive objects.

Light light, normally assumed to travel in perfectly straight lines, would follow the curve of warped space-time.
