go back to the book and read more details, God willing. “The Theory of General Relativity: According to Newton’s laws, gravity between two objects is dependent on their masses and on the distance between them at that particular moment. This means that if one of the objects moves, changing the distance between them, the effect of the gravitational force on the other object will directly change, meaning the change occurs instantly. This means that the effect of the gravitational force travels at an infinite speed, which contradicts special relativity, which showed that the maximum speed of things is the speed of light. This is why Einstein worked for ten years on a theory that explains gravity in a way that does not contradict special relativity. So in 1915 AD, he proposed the theory of general relativity that describes the universe as a whole concerning the effect of the gravity of matter and energy therein, and their impact upon one another in the light of what Einstein proposed in the special relativity theory. There is no speed within the universe greater than the speed of light; there is no absolute time and no complete independence of time from the other dimensions of the universe that we call space. Rather, there is a cosmic fabric of the four dimensions. In the theory of general relativity, the effect of gravity is the result of the bending of the four cosmic dimensions, space-time, because of matter and energy. It is as if the cosmic fabric is elastic and bendable, and all matter in the universe bends this fabric by the amount of its mass. Also, all energy bends this fabric by an amount that matches its material equivalent, according to Einstein’s equation in Einstein’s theory of special relativity E=mc2.
