It was on this date, 100 years ago, that Einstein (books by this author) submitted his paper The Field Equations of Gravitation for publication (1915). The paper included 10 equations, which made up his Theory of General Relativity. The equations lay out Einstein’s theory of gravity: where it comes from and how it interacts with “spacetime.” Einstein’s theory viewed space and time not as two separate elements, but interwoven such that a change in one produces an effect on the other. He didn’t come up with the idea of a space-time continuum — that idea came from his former professor, Hermann Minkowski — but Einstein elaborated on it. . .
Einstein worked on expanding and fine-tuning his Special Relativity theory for almost a decade. Once he felt confident that his equations could accurately describe gravity’s effect on spacetime, he published them as The Field Equations of Gravitation or — as they’re more familiarly known, the Theory of General Relativity. . .
