100 Years of General Theory of Relativity

Abstract

The General Theory Relativity is the generalization of the Special Theory of Relativity. This theory
certainly is one of the most extraordinary achievement of the scientific world till date. Einstein's
discovery of General Theory of Relativity is itself series of dramatic incidents, from the beginning until
it’s proven. The theory reviewed our understanding of gravity, light and time, and paved the way for many modern technologies. The observational evidence is overwhelming. Einstein’s theory is essential to the new fundamental theory of nature. Dark matter, dark energy, black holes, and string theory are all product of Einstein’s theory, and right now they are dominating physics and astronomy.
String theory depends on a complicated space-time with strange geometrical properties in higher
dimensions. Far obscure than Einstein’s theory ever was, it is addressed by many as the final theory. In
the year 2015, Scientist had also able to detect gravitational wave, a prediction of General Theory of
Relativity.
Through this paper, I have presented that how general theory is originated from the special theory.
The main emphasis has been given on all the work that has happened in the last 100 years after the
General Theory of Relativity. The year 2015 marked the 100 anniversary of Einstein’s Field equation. The paper gives a comprehensive review based on one hundred years of development of general relativity and its scientific influences.
