In the early 1900’s Einstein revolutionised our understanding of gravity with the introduction of General Relativity. To date, it is still the widely accepted interpretation of gravity, passing many astrophysical tests. Join St Andrews astronomer Alistair Hodson to hear about Einstein’s gravitational model, what it is, how it works and how we observe the effects, – and see how General Relativity has influenced our day to day lives.
