41. As such the covariance group of the general theory of relativity is just the covariance group of every theory. 42. Discrepancies between the observed perihelion precession rate of the planet General Theory of Relativity ), which accurately predicted the anomalies. 43. He developed the general theory of relativity , one of the two pillars of modern physics ( alongside quantum mechanics ). 44. According to Einstein's general theory of relativity , as gravitational waves pass, the distance between any two points contracts and expands. 45. Albert Einstein's wife, the story goes, was asked by a reporter if she understood her husband's general theory of relativity . 46. In 1917, Einstein tried to make a model of the universe within the framework of his general theory of relativity . 47. Such a theory would unify the two pillars of 20th-century physics, Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity and the quantum theory. 48. Beyond this, the thermodynamics of systems described by the general theory of relativity is beyond the scope of the present article. 49. Einstein was the first to resort to such a concept, soon after he published his general theory of relativity in 1915. 50. One is Einstein's general theory of relativity , which describes the universe on the largest scale _ the stars, galaxies and beyond.
