• Eventually Einstein's general relativity theory explained the phenomenon in terms of a distortion of the fabric of space by the Sun's gravity.
• For example, Einstein's special relativity theory predicts that massless particles in a vacuum travel at the speed of light and that particles with mass travel more slowly, in a way that can be calculated if we know their mass.
• In so doing, general relativity theory with its variably curved spacetime, brought a further advance in the steps or levels of "objectivation" lying at the basis of physics. Early Philosophical Interpretations of General Relativity
• Einstein's relativity theory provided the new conceptional framework for understanding the material universe.
• Like all his contemporaries, Hawking was brought up, as a scientist, on the classical ideas of Newton and on relativity theory and quantum physics in their original forms.
• For example, Einstein's Relativity Theory got support from the fact that it correctly implied the precession of the perihelion of Mercury, though that information was known long before Einstein formulated the theory. Confirmation Bias and ID
• Bollert argued that relativity theory had "clarified" the Kantian position in the Transcendental Aesthetic by demonstrating that not space and time, but spatiality (determinateness in positional ordering) and temporality (in order of succession) are Early Philosophical Interpretations of General Relativity
• In 1908, one of Einstein's mathematics lecturers, Hermann Minkowski, presented relativity theory in geometric form - in the four-dimensional geometry of space and time.
• His book The Grammar of Science was remarkable in that it anticipated some of the ideas of relativity theory.
