Description
Summary:	The article focuses on the explanation and interpretation about gravity, which is the main idea of the general relativity (GR) theory of physicist Albert Einstein. Topics include experiments aimed at probing the theory and gravitational waves, the idea of spacetime which was introduced by GR theory as a unified fabric and the consequences of the speed of light, and the assessment of physicist Paul Dirac about the theory as the greatest scientific discovery ever made.
