This theory described the idea that any object with mass “‘warped’ the spacetime around it” (It’s All Relative, n.d.), also known as spacetime curvature. Einstein’s proposal was proved during a solar

He still believed that if these great people like Albert Einstein and Leonardo Da Vinci can succeed under the same circumstances why couldn’t he. And eventually he did succeed. He wanted to go to college and he ended up doing just that. Raymond Graduated from Curry College in 1981 in Milton, Massachusetts. I
