Abstract

General Relativity (GR), proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915, redefined our understanding of gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. Over the decades, GR has not only withstood rigorous experimental tests but has also proven indispensable in numerous practical applications. This paper explores the theoretical framework of GR, its experimental validations, and its applications in areas ranging from astrophysics and cosmology to technology and engineering. Key advancements, including gravitational wave detection, GPS technology, and early universe cosmology, are highlighted to demonstrate the profound impact of GR on science and society.
