Chalk up another win for Einstein’s seemingly invincible theory of gravity.
A new study shows that the theory of general relativity holds true even over vast distances.General relativity prevailed within a region spanning a galactic distance of about 6,500 light-years, scientists report in the June 22 Science. Previously, researchers have precisely tested the theory by studying its effects on the solar system (SN Online: 8/15/17). But experiments on larger scales are more difficult. The new test is the most precise one yet across such great distances.
